[Nfb-krafters-korner] NLS new Knitting Book...

[Eileen Scrivani]

Ninn:

Web Braille are electronically formatted Braille files that allow you to 
download books and read them using a refreshable Braille display or 
notetaker, or print them on a Braille embosser, or if you don't read 
Braille, you can open them using text to speech software like K1000 or Open 
Book and let those programs read it to you.  They have many really good 
selections in Web Braille format for both knitting & crochet!!! I love Web 
Braille for the knitting selections and then I can print out hard copies in 
Braille which I mostly prefer for knitting directions, but sometimes when my 
hands fatigue I do like just having them read to me by K1000 or one of my 
little portable book devices.  If you want to get access to web Braille, you 
have to contact your local lending library for the blind and request an id & 
password for it.  It is not the same as the Digital Talking Books ... at 
least not yet.
