Hi Ian,
Certainly there are Serial to USB adapters. They are all over the place
and nothing special, and they work with the Bookworm, or at least my Xercom
one does.
I can't answer the question about Cipher, but have you tried the Worm's
own translator recently? The programmer, Wolfgang Hubert, is working very
hard on UK Braille, and I think he has about a 95 percent accuracy rate now,
and getting better.
Finally, as a UK distributor of The Worm, I am not familiar with problems
with the software not sending files to it. Care to elaborate?
Finally, don't forget to download the latest version from Handy Tech.
There are quite frequent releases of the software now.
HTH
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] ANOTHER BOOKWORM QUESTION
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me whether there exist such things as serial to USB
adapters? If there are such things, would I need to be careful about the
sort of USB connector to be sure that my PC would be able to send texts to
my worm? Is anyone else doing things this way? It'd be really nice not to
have to faff about in the back of the PC plugging the worm up to the serial
port. Also, does anyone know whether there are issues with using Cipher
with XP home as this is the translation program I have. finally, I'd heard
hat there'd been problems with the new BW software either failing to send
material or sending it as gobbledegook to the worm.
Cheers now.
Ian
