[nfb-talk] RoboBraille - Free alternative media with minimum hassle

[H. Field]

Hi all,
The below e-mail reminds consumers of the Robo braille services. The updates have improved the service and I use it all the time. It works wonderfully. It only minutes, .pdf files arrive by return e-mail converted into one's document format of choice. Just thought I'd encourage folks to give it a try or, as in my case, a re-try.

Regards,

Heather 

Dear all,

 

I just wanted to give you an update on the RoboBraille service. 

 

RoboBraille is a free email and web service capable of converting electronic documents into a range of high-quality, alternative formats including Braille, mp3 and Daisy full text/full audio. The service can also be used to convert otherwise inaccessible documents such as image-only PDF-files or scanned documents into more accessible formats. The service is free to all non-commercial users and users need not register in order to use the service.

 

During the past 12 months we have added support for a number of new languages and document formats. We have also added a new web-interface to RoboBraille that makes the service very easy to use, even for inexperienced users. Please check out the web interface at the following link: http://www.robobraille.org/SAXS/en/saxs-step1.aspx

 

The success of the RoboBraille service depends highly on the use and feedback from users of the service. I would therefore appreciate any comments and suggestions to the further development of the service. Please inform people in your network if you find RoboBraille useful, and let me know if you are interested in joining the RoboBraille partnership.

 

More information is available at the main RoboBraille website at www.robobraille.org.

 

Kind regards

 

Lars
