[Menvi-discuss] need assistance with brailling materials

[David Tseng]

Back to answering the original question

Have you considered scanning the materials yourself? Since they don't
contain any musical notation, you will likely get almost perfect
results.

I would also look into paying someone to do the job. Perhaps a high
school student could do it, but transcribing books is somewhat time
consuming.

Once you get the material in print, you could emboss it into braille
or put it on a device like a Braille Note.

Unfortunately, they are in print.  I would normally call National Library Service and ask them if they have them or know someone who can Braille them, but due to the government shutdown, they are closed.  Therefore, is there any way someone who transcribes print material into Braille could do these for me? I am hoping to find someone who can do it "Pro Bono." These are just regular print books with no music in them.  I could mail them to your house.  If anyone is able to help, please write me offlist at piano.girl0299 at gmail.com and we can work out the logistics.  I do not have the capability to do this myself.  Since they are being put into Braille, can I use a free matter for the blind stamp?
