I am working toward retraining in less physically demanding occupations due
to my long term physical disabilties.
Currently I am taking courses at Hadley to improve my , braille skills,
writing, mathematics, knowledge of technology etc and put some of those
skills to use as a volunteer.
It would be good to have volunteers at bookshare not duplicate the efforts
of RFB&D or Library of Congress.
It also might be good to have a list of some volunteers who could help in
the areas of graphics, charts, illustrations. Some volunteers might not be
able those books or all of the book due to sensory, physical or technical
limitiations.
One idea I thought of might be to scan the page that has graphics or
illustrations in two formats, text and then in graphics format (say pdf,
jpeg, gif or tiff) so that you could send the graphic page to someone who
could transcribe it or describe it. However I don't know what the current
limits of the Kursweild 1000 or 3000 is.
Of course if the book is full of these charts, illustratons if might be
better to have a sighted volunteer or partially sighted volunteer do that
book. Years ago RFB&D used volunteers if possible who also might know the
subject for reading and graphic illustrations, especially with technical and
medical tests this really helped the end user.
And of course never open your mouth with a suggestion unless you find you
might get drafted to volunteer to help with such a project, so yes I would
help start such a list if bookshare approves.
I have only been a volunteer a little while so I am still learning about
volunteering and how this works.
