size=3>Firstly, if you are using a Romeo, get ready to go through plenty of
paper, as it is a single-sided embosser and thus cannot emboss on both sides of
a sheet of paper as can a Juliet or other product. But, then again, it is
certainly better than having nothing at all.</FONT></P>

size=3>I'm afraid there are no quick and easy steps. Hopefully, you have access
to optical character recognition (OCR) software (i.e., Kurzweil, OpenBook,
OmniPage) for recognizing the scanned materials and converting them to text. As
with any OCR solution, some cleanup (e.g., running a spell check, looking for
text that is improperly tabbed/spaced) will be necessary.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>Once the document is cleaned up and saved in an appropriate format such
as an MS Word Document or text file, you can use a braille translation program
such as the Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) to open and convert it to braille.
Of course, you have to specify your embosser type and such, and I will be happy
to discuss this with you in greater detail off-list.</FONT></P>

size=3>Happy embossing. I know this is a very generalized message, but, given
that I don’t know what programs you are dealing with specifically, that is all
the insight I can provide at present.</FONT></P>

<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">I am a new TVI, just starting with my first student
today. He needs much of his work scanned/brailled. I have not yet learned
these pieces (EPSON scanner/ROMEO PRO 50)<VAR
id=yiv2076509377yui-ie-cursor></VAR> of equipment. So, I am looking for quick
easy to follow steps so that he gets his work right away. I am hoping to save
many hours by having some one send me a list of steps to follow. Thank you
very much.</DIV>
