[blindkid] transcribing time

[Susan Harper]

While you are looking at this, remember it is not just transcribing, it is
also formatting and figuring out the amount of space and layout.  You are
right to ask these questions.  It does take a lot of time.  You are blessed
to have such a dedicated person.
Blessings,
Sue H.
