[nabs-l] Fair payment for readers

[Kaiti Shelton]

Well, I have a few hesitations with that.  First, I'm interested in it
but does it store the handwriting images or the converted images in
any form?  I'm skeptical of it for that reason because These lyrics
are part of music therapy sessions and need to stay confidential for
client privacy and for professional ethics on my end.  If I cannot
guarantee that the files are not stored in any way I can't use it.  I
do not have a droid device, so it would have to run off of a PC or an
IPhone which I doubt it would.  Also, I already have the human reader
lined up for a date and time so I'm more interested in making sure
that I adequately pay her since I didn't know about this other option
from my first thread and have the time to investigate it further
before booking the human reader.  I will check it out to have as a
tool for personal use, though.
