Don't forget I translate the scanners' pictures for Spanish books who only know a little bit of Spanish or no Spanish, I'm working on the Empanada book now.

Jamie, You beat me to it! This group is so on top of everything.Kudos to each and every one of you from Bookshare staff during National Volunteer Week. Thanks for all you do.I have asked a few staff people here to run some numbers for you to get a sense of the magnitude of your contribution.Meanwhile let me point out that National Volunteer Week leads into Pay It Forward Day 2010 (April 29, 2010): http://www.payitforwardday.com/One way to multiply your impact these next two weeks is to invite others to volunteer with Bookshare. A volunteer slot that is particularly hard to fill at the moment is doing image descriptions.We have a chemistry textbook and a handful of physics textbooks in digital format but with charts, graphs, and other non-ascii material that an OCR does not catch. We need volunteers with some science knowledge to write descriptions of what they see in these graphics so that we can insert them into the text. Have potential volunteers in mind? They can find more detail here:http://tinyurl.com/2f7tjdb Scott Rains Bookshare Volunteer Coordinator, Interim ________________________________________From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chela Robles [cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx]Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 9:05 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT: Pat yourself on the back How did you find out about volunteer week and other stuff. --"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever.
