Thanks Alex. I was only acting as an intermediary for the sighted person and he was able to get the documents converted for his use in the needed format on behalf of his client requesting the Braille documents.

If his client wants to braille them and print them out, he just needs a copy of Duxbury which works quite well with Jaws. Does the client use Jaws at all? An electronic file would be the most cost-effective way to do it. Having it brailled probably costs as much as purchasing Duxbury would. I've come across some outrageous trascriber's quotes before.
