We have Brailled books from Bookshare. We use Daisy text. When we downloaded the Braille format, much of it was in Spanish and we needed the entire book in English. Yes, it does take a lot of paper, but if the student needs a book and it's not available elsewhere, that's what we have to do. If the rest of the class is using a book, the General Ed teacher would like the visually impaired student to have a book also. Has anyone downloaded the book in Braille format and had success embossing it?

It explicitly says in the notice that the only consession made is to make copies of the book for use by other blind people. I've never tried it myself, so I don't know how it would work.

I was wondering if you have another method to download a Bookshare book in braille such as an iDevice or braille note taker. I didn't know that you could download a book from Bookshare and dump it into Duxbury to braille it out. I am just curious.

In Duxbury, it appears to leave off part of words on the right. I have checked "read formatted Braille without interpretation" under "Global/Formatted Braille Importer." Should I do something else?
