As one who lives in a Spanish speaking country, and not totally plugged into
the conversation, I just wanted to mention that Duxbury's grade 1 Spanish
Braille is good. But the contracted Braille is flawed. What is more, it
would not serve for English speakers as Spanish abbreviations are almost
totally different from English Braille contractions. While it may be a
tangent, it is important if you have to emboss Spanish.

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?

You can. 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.

Hello,
Please forgive me, but wouldn't that use a tremendous amount of paper to
emboss a Bookshare book? 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.

Hi- I have a question about downloading a book from Book Share. 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?
Thank you,
