Yvonne, Why dont you try the RNIB service Carol ---------- From: dis-forum To: 'dis-forum' Subject: No Subject Date: 03 October 1997 16:09 I've been lurking for quite a while, so maybe it's time to come out into the open. I hope someone out there can answer the following question. We have a blind student studying a course which is not available on audio cassette, and he has asked for the text to be converted into Braille. Unfortunately the course contains alot of phonetic symbols. Please can you tell me whether these phonetic symbols can be reproduced in Braille, and if so is there any special software that we'll need to use? If not, is there any other way of making the symbols accessible to the student?
