Hello accmailers ...

I know some of our members might find this useful ...

The RoboBraille service is an email-based translation service capable of
translating documents to and from contracted Braille and to synthetic
speech.

Users submit documents (e.g. text files, Word documents, HTML pages) as
email attachments. The translated results are returned to the user via
email, typically within a matter of minutes. The service is available
free of charge to all non-commercial users.

Unfortunately, their website is not ACCMAIL-friendly. If you wish to use
a www4mail server to read the RoboBraille site, we suggest you use the
GET command.

NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIPTIONS
To subscribe to the RoboBraille newsletter, send an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with an empty subject and the
following text
  subscribe robobraille-news
as the ONLY text in the body part of the message.


TRY IT OUT
Send an email with a document attachment (e.g: HTML, MS Word, text file)
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have the document returned to you as a
link to an online MP3 file.

Unfortunately, the MP3 is served as content-type 'text/plain' instead of
'audio/mp3', so may not be treated as a binary file by web-to-mail
gateway servers.
