Hi, Linda, I hope you don't mind, but I forwarded your letter to a
friend of mine. She and I are fellow Booksharians and I thought I'd ask
her if she'd be willing to help you out. I don't know what she'll do,
but I thought I'd write her just in case. Don't be shy about posting to
the list as you are welcome. If my friend writes you, she might be able
to help you out because she used to have a Juliet embosser and she also
used to emboss stuff in Braille. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Hello Rick:
I have not posted to this list before but I have been with Bookshare for
almost three years. I am intimidated by the computer technology
involved
with reading and I am a bit shy about posting to lists even though I am
on
several of them.
as my reading preference is braille, it would be nice to emboss
bookshare
books for myself but, I have not located a tutorial for Duxbury's 2005
program which I need to learn in order to use my Julietpro60 that
voc
rehab purchased for me along with my computer and Pacmate. I have more
programs on this computer than I know what to do with and now that I am
no
longer in college, I won't use most of them. I called Duxbury and was
directed to their website where I clicked on "Training Resources" which
led
me to the AFB site which led me to a video that I haven't had time to
watch.
Fortunately, I had about one hour of training on loading the paper into
the
embosser. All I know is that by pressing Ctrl+t translates and ctrl+e
starts the braille printout. How I got into this predicament is a very
long
and complicated story. I got the technology but very minuscule
training
on any of it. I know just enough to be a danger to the "technology
toys"
as I call them and to myself. Braille is my preference for anything I
need
to learn. I leave the audiobooks for leisure reading whenever possible.
I
hope that someone is or was able to give you the answers to your
questions.
If you or anyone else knows of any resources that could be of help to
me,
please send them to: lynda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx "the sooner the better!"
Thank
you.
Sincerely,
Lynda Canaday
