Hi Robert, Will OpenBook do it also?
Thanks much. Kris H. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Carter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

That is why they read like jiberish in your word processor. You have to use special software to translate the books into regular text. There is some braille translation software that will do this that is available through the nfb for free. You can probably find it at their web site. The Kurzweil 1000 will also translate these books. The Book Port will as well. good luck, Robert Carter > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Kristine Hickerson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "pc-audio" <[email protected] >Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 19:30:32 -0600 >Subject: Downloading NLS Books >Hi All, >Well, I found the books I wanted from the NLS WebBraille catalog and >downloaded several of them. >However, when I try to read them with my screenreader and braille display I >get garbage.
