Hello. My name is Sharon Hamm. I just joined this list. I had been meaning
to do it for a while but had problems doing it. Anyway, now I'm here.
I'm an old Dos Duxbury user from the mid 90's. It is sure different now and
sometimes I'm quite overwhelmed.
I'm working on some stuff for Christian Education for the Blind on a
volunteer basis. I'm hoping that it will turn in to a parttime for fulltime
job.
Anyway my question is when I bring up a dxb file it is showing in computer
braille, I think. The first line is supposed to say YOUR LIFE IN CHRIST
What I'm seeing on the display, (power braille 40) is
,,yr ,,life ,,#9 ,,* It is not showing the rest of the line.
It is possible to produce files for braille output in DBT's print editor.
Myself an others do it all of the time.
There are some individuals on this list who will say that it is not possible to produce a braille file that is 100% accurate from DBT's print editor.
To say that it cannot be done, is nothing but a load of "cods wallop".
Don't believe them!
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

How do you let "Duxbury do the brailling?"
How can you ensure that the sighted student is truly learning the code when
"Duxbury is doing the brailling?"
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Paul Ajuwon.

Using a full keyboard to enter ASCII Braille causes less strain than six-key
typing. There are many styles of ergonomic keyboards designed to reduce
strain. Typing on a properly-designed keyboard should not make your arms or
hands tired even when you are older. An even better option for brailling is
to let Duxbury do it!
