Hello Sandra it is me Kathleen again. I was wondering how you can keep 10.5
and also down load 10.6. I tried to down load 10/6 but I had a little
problem on down loading. But I am going to try again on Tuesday. Do you use
jaws. I use 6.0 in jaws. You were saying that you are going to be a Braille
transcription. How far have you got on becoming a Braille transcription. I
am also planning on becoming a Braille transcription from my house. I got to
only do the final so I can get my certificate in Braille transcription.
Maybe we can keep in touch by e-mailing back and forth to each other. That's
why I would like to take the class so I could be able to learn
as much as I could by using the Braille embosser.

Hi Kathleen,
It is totally online. They send no material. It is text lesson with
quite a few demonstration videos with alternative JAWS version for visually
impaired students. You download the assignment material for the lesson and
save it in Documents; then you import it into your Duxbury 10.5 program.
(The 10.5 program which I purchased remained separate from my later 10.6
upgrade, and I kept it in my computer for this class.) Then you do the
assignment as instructed at the end of each lesson, save it, and then email
it back to the teacher in the body of the email and/or as an attachment.
They have the material scheduled for one assignment a week, but because
it is self-paced, I am setting my own schedule. I have spent the last two
weeks doing two a week and am finishing up lesson 4 today. The first four
lessons seem to have most of the information for literary transcription. I
am setting up a home transcription business and still have a lot to do on
the business end of it, so from now on I will probably slow down to one
lesson a week. There is a deadline for the end of your course so you have
to keep that in mind.
I am copying the lessons and quizes and saving them for my future
reference. I then edit and bold print the important points in what I saved.
From what I have experienced so far with the first four lessons, it is
worth the money. As I have stated in a past email posting, I never could
have gotten this information on the software just poking around in the help
menu.
Don't be sorry for asking a lot of questions. That is what this group is
for. I have been so totally ignorant of the software up until now that I am
glad I have some answers about something to pass on to someone else.
The best to you,
Sandra
