I understand the differences between blind and sighted transcribers, but
Megadots added all kinds of little formatting touches that Duxbury just
hasn't done yet.
When we produce our newsletter, at the smal agency for the blind where I
volunteer, we use, for instance, Megadots' folding letter line feature.
Duxbury doesn't have it. And on and on.
