Hello,

 

I am trying to get academic books in electronic format – specifically Word format for a blind student. The screen reader only ‘reads’ word, however the publishers are sending me everything in PDF. When I get our I.T bods to convert into word, it comes out skew whiff as it is removing pictures and so;  all the text moves about and overlaps and it is basically illegible. I am enlisting the help of the RNIB now, but this is driving me mad as no one is giving me the publications in Word. Has anyone had experience with this? Is there anything else you can think of I should try?  Please respond off list [log in to unmask]
