Hi Pamela, Yep, I’d have to move out too but I do read all the reccipes on my SD cards in my Vic. I’m glad I have more than one, but I just use one when I am recording. I try to do them in smaller groups so I don’t wear my head out, haha. I’ll have to look so I can tell you what I have had so far. There is one book I did not do, it’s the Pillsbury fast and Healthy book. I found out I had downloaded it from Bookshare. So, I just read the contents. That way, I will have the contents to browse, so since as you probably know, I know I am preaching to the choir, but here is what I found out. You can, of course, play a book from there in your Vicand he or she will read it to you. However, when you open that big folder in your computer, you go down a couple folders where it says the name with XML at the end of it. Open that folder, and there, big as life, it shows you the entire book! Really, you can see every word! That shocked me, but is also very cool, because then you can look up a recipe and find it. I was amazed because no one had shown me before. So, no need for me to write out that Pillsbury book. But I’ll go look up what I did speak on the Vic.

I don't like it either. I suppose many of us who have read braille forever don't tend to. On a second topic, I just read through that list of cookbooks. Can you imagine having all of those in your library? If they were braille rather than electronic copies, I'd have to move out of my house in order to make room for all the braille books. I thought I had collected a lot of recipes over the years but mine are nothing compared to all the ones on that list.

Her name was Elena, and I can't remember the last name. She also had a cooking/kind of dear Abby radio show in Los Angeles. Does anyone know about her? Also, I wonder if we took a survey who would say they like Ueb? Maybe it's just the learning curve, or something, but I wish Braille hadn't changed. Everyone stay well and safe!
