[nabs-l] Making Texts on jpg file accessible?

Sun Jan 25 01:38:47 UTC 2015

Hi all,
Thank you for suggesting this great resource.
I have tried using this twice so far and I have a few questions.
Which format should I choose?
Braille or accessibility conversion?
If I choose Braille, does it matter whehtehr I choose British English 
or American English?
Lastly under Braille format, which format is recommended?
I put BrailleNote and so far it gave me txt files.
Is there any way I could get either brf file as my outcome?
Also one image pdf file I put through came out as a txt file and had 
broken texts... how could I avoid this problem?

I believe the headquarters for the organization is in Norway as well.
It should be accessible to you whereever you are.

This is how good it is; I had a prof email me hand-outs for class the
other day, but in her effort to get them to me in advance she forgot
to make sure the pdfs weren't images.  I was able to email them to
robobraille and get MS Word files back in enough time to use them in
class.  It's really a great thing!
