Hi Terri; What type of hymnal have you made. I would love to get my hands on any Christian hymnal, especially Catholic. Would you be able to e-mail me any. Terry Powers If not, tell me how you got the ones you have.

I think scanning is the worst way to get printed matter into accurate text, especially hymns because of the music. Another reason why I haven't invested in Dancing Dots is because a sighted musician would have to make sure the music was scanned correctly before it's brailled. My church's secretary emails me the service including all the words to any of the choruses I don't have. The MP works fine with her emails. I've already brailled the hymn book. Don't waste time with publishers--they won't have anything. Since the coyright law was amended, material can be brailled without permission. Terri, Amateur radio call sign KF6CA.
