[nfb-talk] Cost of producing childrens' books in braille

[David Andrews]

Mary:

There are many answers to this question -- if you want to call me at 
work tomorrow 651-642-0513 we can talk it through.

At a minimum you would probably need a computer, translation 
software, an embosser, paper, binding machine and 
supplies.  Depending on book you might also need scanner and OCR 
software, thermoform machine and supplies, supplies for creating 
tactile graphics.  There is probably more, but this comes to mind.

for one book, it is cheaper to get someone to do it.
