Keith,
Just got to myMac, after spending the day @ church & with the wife & kids. I
looked up the email info. In short, you create a new MSG addressed to
convert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. In the subject line you type in the format you wish
to have the attached document converted to. I.E. Braille, HTML, Doc, Text,
PDF, etc. Then, you attach the file in question. Lastly, of course, you
send the document off for conversion. Depending on the size of the document
& the system’s usage load, you should have the document back within minutes,
hours, & occasionally the next morning.
I tend to send PDF’s, found on the web, that are manuals for amps or
processors I’ve purchased. Its been pretty helpful. I’d suggest you send a
test doc to see how the conversion goes.
Lastly, here’s a link outlining both using the user interface & emailing.
The emailing part is towards the end.

Hope this helps,

Keith,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We spent most of the day
throwing a birthday for my wife’s spinster aunt. Anyway, it’s late & I
need to get to bed for church in the A.M. So, tomorrow I’ll check my notes
or dig around & find the various email addresses. As I recall there’s
about6 or 7 various options. As for formatting, I’m not that particular
for manuals. But, I’m sure we could figure it out. And, I’d love to help
in the effort.
Sincerely,
CJ

CJ,
I am leaving this thread on the list. It is certainly Voiceover related
and I think it may be of some help to some one.
I have had no real trouble with the site but it would be good to know how
to contact the correct braille engine, would you pass that information
along.
Question,
Do you just type your stuff in TextEdit?
I am so glad to hear that Robo braille is an option and that it works so
well for you. Thanks again.

Keith,
First, thanks for the emails. You were right! I couldn’t tell that the
piano was spliced together from loops. I particularly liked the second
song, Gett’er Done. Quite a bit, actually.
Anyway, that being said, have you considered Robo Braille, the free email
service in Denmark? I use it quite a bit for manuals, books, & such. If
you’re up on it, then sorry for the redundant info. Otherwise FYI, I’ve
had some trouble with the site, but then I learned to just attach the
file in question, email to the appropriate Robo Braille engine, & wait
for a couple of hours for the translated file to return to me.
Anyway, hope this is food for thought,
CJ
P.S. Thanks again for the land-line help.
