Jeff,
This worked! From the time I submitted the scanned image and received the ..doc conversion was less than 5 minutes. Thank you and all the others.

You can choose among Word, RTF, and others for your output format. I believe Robo Braille has updated their name to Sensus Access with the following URL that I use:: http://sensusaccess.com/ HTH, Jeff At 12:41 PM 6/27/2013, you wrote: Dean It will not work for me because I want to have it convert a scanned .pdf file to a editable format. This link will allow me to send .txt file and convert it into a ..mp3 format or braille.

Why does it not work?

What is RoboBraille? RoboBraille is an email service which can convert digital text documents into either Braille or audio files. It is quick and easy to use RoboBraille. You simply send an email with an attached text document to the specific RoboBraille e-mail account that suits your needs. Or you can upload your file by using our web interface. Both ways you will receive the document back from RoboBraille in the specified format - an audio file, for example. You do not need to install expensive and complicated software on your computer to use RoboBraille. It is free for non-commercial users to use RoboBraille.

I believe the file needs to be under 2 MB in size. You can use either a web or e-mail interface. To use e-mail, send the .pdf file as an attachment to [email protected] . I cannot remember the default format in which the file is returned; I believe it is ..doc. To make sure, if you want the file converted to .doc format, put doc in the subject line. For .txt, put txt. A few minutes after you send the message, depending on such factors as server traffic and file length, you will get an e-mail with a generically-named file attachment in your desired format. If the file was one of those .pdf files in need of OCR, the OCR will be performed before the conversion. Try it on your material and see if it works.
