Danielle, Everyone's input is welcome. My only objection is to the idea of limiting the message. With the possible exception of audio, none of the proposed formats have necessarily been a big expenditure with volunteer help from the community. We have at this moment roughly the following

Hi Dark, Well, production and distribution are two separate things. I can only speak for the production side of it with confidence really. If you or someone else were to record a narrated version of the text remotely, I reckon editing that, gathering a few gameplay clips, sequencing it all

Motion seconded. It really doesn't take long to tape a small portion of a game, and about the same amount of time to insert it into an audio file. I think the major difficulty would be making sure everything fits together and that narrators don't have huge amounts of tape hiss in their voices.

Yep, that's why I pointed out that whoever narrates it would have to go easy on levels. Failing that there's always tools like iZotope RX that do an insanely good job of noise reduction, but better to get it right at the source really. On 6/27/15, john jpcarnemo...@gmail.com wrote: Motion

Well. It all depends what you started with. That is what you got at school. For me it was braille then a type writer then a computer. Now I believve that its braille on a braille device but it could also be an electronic unit. Typing on a computer is skipped though you can go over to that

It depends on how many cds you wanted to burn. It takes about 20-30 minutes to setup but once you have it all set, you can burn cds taking 10 minutes as long as your drive and processer are fast enough. And if you had the same thing on several units well. However I wouldn't suggest unless you

Well there shouldn't be a debate really both formats have their merrits. Braille can be read anywhere. Cds/ websites can also be used anywhere. On the flip side cds are portable as well as other electronics but need the equipment to interact with them. Braille is bulky and heavy to carry round

Hi Danielle, Yeah, the distro side of things can get pretty complicated pretty quickly. as I just said to Dark though, the production of an audio version is a few hours of work for anyone who has chops in that area. It doesn't have to be a huge involved project if the right people work on it.
