[nabs-l] Results of my Rehab meeting

Wed Jan 11 23:04:27 UTC 2012

I agree Lauren. I would like a braille file on my braille note; that way we 
can search it and reference it in class like everyone else. Professors say 
look at second paragraph page 33 and we don't see that; we just listen or if 
I'm lucky a classmate summarizes what they've read before we proceed with 
class discussion.

To me, the ideal way would be to have both.  I would want an audio one that
would be on an sd card and the like, and another file on my apex for quick
searches in class or other activities.  Also to me, having it in braille,
greatly assist me in my spelling looking better than it might otherwise.  I
know, it's nice to dream.

Hi,
Wouldn't it be easier and more convient to have college texts on audio
rather than braille any way? It would take a while to use braille in
college.
