[nobe-l] some questions

Tue Jan 27 23:09:17 UTC 2009

Hi, sometimes picture books will scan and then you could translate the text. 
If not have someone read you the book and you Braille it. They could also 
type it in for you. One options for volunteers is often universities have 
volunteer organizations that will read on a volunteer basis. I have found 
this helpful in the past. Bran
