Have you checked bookshare? Some NLS offices have it as well.

Hi, been through that, very very frustrating!!! my daughter was in GS for a
bit (5 or 4 yrs ago) and they were not very accommodating, unbelievable
given what they stand for. We finally got a brailled book but it was not the
right one, I returned it to them. No one in the organization cared and we
knocked on many doors of the upper management. For this and other reasons we
gave up and my daughter quit since she did not feel included. 
When you complain to the organization they make it "a project" as if that
needed to be so. If I remember correctly there was a disability resource
officer or something like that. You got to keep on googleing til you find
the right person to talk to in your state. They might now have some digital
formats for some of their material that jaws can access. 

Best wishes to you,


Heidi

Hi all.  I'm a bit frustrated with the fact that I am unable to find the
girl scout materials in any kind of accessible format.  My youngest is a
Brownie, and my oldest is a Cadet, and I have yet to find anything I can
work with.  Even the books have been not able to be scanned with Openbook.
I am blind as well, and anything I know to do to transcribe isn't working.
Am I missing something, or is this a problem for othersas well?

Thanks.

Linda C
