>Could you please post the following on the list serve?

>We are seeking good typists to facilitate access for a deaf-blind 
>law student who will be attending the national convention. Prior 
>experience with real-time transcription services or deaf-blind 
>communication is not necessary. Typists would use a standard QWERTY 
>keyboard that would be wirelessly connected to a BrailleNote. Some 
>multi-tasking is required for typists because they would need to be 
>able to listen to a speaker and type at the same time.
>
>We are looking for several good typists to provide transcription 
>support throughout the convention.  If you are willing to help, 
>please contact Beth Braun at <mailto:bbraun at nfb.org>bbraun at nfb.org 
>or by calling 410-659-9314 ex. 2369.

>Thank you for your consideration.
