Hi Vejas. I am taking Spanish right now and had my textbook scanned by disability services. It works pretty well on my BrailleSense. Sometimes, I have issues in areas of the book in which information is displayed in columns or in which there are words inside a picture, but it works well for the most part. Glad to see you active on the Nabs list. Contact me off list some time. We should catch up.
