Hi Aedan,
Am certtainly and have used it in the past!
It's a great service for vips but we still strive to have PDFs readable by us
without having to go there if possible.
It's very simple to use indeed and the audio isn't all that bad really!
Ta Tony Sweeney

Dear all,
I just wanted to give you an update on the RoboBraille service.
RoboBraille is a free email and web service capable of converting electronic
documents into a range of high-quality, alternative formats including
Braille, mp3 and Daisy full text/full audio. The service can also be used to
convert otherwise inaccessible documents such as image-only PDF-files or
scanned documents into more accessible formats. The service is free to all
non-commercial users and users need not register in order to use the
service.
During the past 12 months we have added support for a number of new
languages and document formats. We have also added a new web-interface to
RoboBraille that makes the service very easy to use, even for inexperienced
users. Please check out the web interface at the following link:
http://www.robobraille.org/SAXS/en/saxs-step1.aspx
The success of the RoboBraille service depends highly on the use and
feedback from users of the service. I would therefore appreciate any
comments and suggestions to the further development of the service. Please
inform people in your network if you find RoboBraille useful, and let me
know if you are interested in joining the RoboBraille partnership.
More information is available at the main RoboBraille website at
www.robobraille.org.
Kind regards
Lars
