This inquiry probably would have more response had it been sent to the
duxuser list, but as a user of TranSend, I will respond briefly on this
list.  Personally, I find it cumbersome to use.  It requires a two-step
operation--first, feed the paper through an Epson printer (a dinosaur) and
then feed the printed copy through the Juliet Pro 60.  First of all, it
takes adequate space and placement of equipment to be efficient in
production.  Second, the control buttons on the TranSend hardware require
a degree of proficiency to avoid making errors.  If you are a DBT
transcriber, as I am, then TranSend is probably your only option for
placing print and braille together on the same page--line for line.  If 
you are a MegaDots user, as I am also, then the option of printing a
facing page with inkprint braille and print copy--word for word--is my
definitive choice for offering simultaneous print and braille on one page.
 A caveat:  my school district has had the TranSend hardware for quite a
few years now, so possibly they have upgraded it to make it more user
friendly.

I held a stripe from the tiger tree,
An emerald snowflake,
An orange drop of rain,
And thirteen purple grains of sand.
Then I opened my fingers --
And I let them fly free!"
