[Menvi-discuss] need assistance with brailling materials

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
Actually, Transcribing into Braille with no strange symbols is really 
fast. You scan it, read through it, fix any errors, stick it into DBT, 
then hit ctrl T and save it as a BRF.
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

>> Hello,
>> This is slightly off topic, but I am wondering if someone can still help me.  I have a couple of phonics books my cousin gave me to use with my students when I start reading tutoring.  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?
