As an Index dealer, I hate to say that free lunches are
simply not on Index's agenda.
You pay for what you get.

Re: Braille transcription programme
Chris
Copied from the web page
The limitations of the Demo Edition are:
- The number of text entries that can be translated is
limited
to 250.
What is your experience of this?
My problem with Winbraille was that it suddenly started
printing one line
on a new page and then jumping to the next leaving
practically a whole blank
braille page. I did have the embosser checked by Dolphin and
updated to the
latest firmware and programme versions. I also ensured that
the page length
on the embosser was set to 13 inches for that size paper.
I do understand that the $ commands exist in Cyper but they
are time
consuming to insert and they do not offer the style
flexibility that say
WinBraille does.
Thanks to all for your contributions. I am gradually working
through them.
Peter
