Braille group gets in touch with new technology - TMC Net
A $25,000 grant from the Norma B. Pfriem Foundation recently awarded to the CBA will help the organization's volunteers keep up with changing technology, as well as pay for the latest in software and hardware systems.These days, the books are translated using a computer -- a volunteer transcribes the book using the Word program, then either copy it to a disk or e-mail it to the CBA. There, a computer program translates the words into Braille and the pages of raised dots are printed and then bound by hand.
