I have been trying to volunteer for Bookshare for a long time.
No one ever got back to me. I've about decided you cannot do it
without a pc, which I don't have. Good luck.

Subject: re: [Braillenote] downloading from bookshare validation
page
Hello all:
anyone here a volunteer for Bookshare? If so, can you describe to
me how to download a book from the validation page? I have not
yet been successful with this. The BN acts as if it is
downloading but I cannot find the book. It never asks where I
want the book placed or in what folder. I am wondering if this
happens because these books are only zipped. If this is the
case, I know the way to unzip, but how do I work around the fact
that it won't download. (maybe I am stuck here and will still
need to use my PC?) Thanks in advance for any help with this.
Another question I have is on the upgrade. Jonathan wrote that
we would be able to write on the braille keyboard and have it
come out on the computer, (maybe I misunderstood?) Anyway, if
this is the case, will it matter into what application is used?
Since Duxbury translation would be used, there would need to be a
spell check performed once the document was finished from the PC,
correct?
