Absolutely Flor, I am going to give it a go at some point as I have a 100 page document which is all image but is text. Is there a size limit? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flor Lynch" <florlync@xxxxxx>

the service for converting image pdf's and other scanned documents could be very useful, especially for users who don't have use of an OCR program such as Kurzweil 1000, etc.

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!

 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
