+
+
+<div class="faq_question"><a name="1" id="1"></a>What is eBraille?</div>
+
+<p class="faq_answer">eBraille is a braille file on disk (in
+contracted, or Grade 2, braille). All our current titles, and most of our past
+ones, are available in eBraille format, except those with tactile graphics.
+eBraille is designed primarily
+to be read on a portable braille reading device, but these books can also
+be embossed with a braille embosser, or accessed with a computer
+and braille display or braille-aware notetaker.</p>
+
+
+<div class="faq_question"><a name="8" id="8"></a>What's on an eBraille disk or CD?</div>
+
+<p class="faq_answer">Every eBraille book contains the following:
+ <ul>
+ <li>A separate file for each volume of the book.</li>
+
+ <li>A ReadMe file that includes this FAQ.</li>
+ </ul>
+</p>
+
+<div class="faq_question"><a name="2" id="2"></a>What hardware do I need to read eBraille?</div>
+<p class="faq_answer">You need one of the following:
+ <ul>
+ <li>A notetaker with a braille display, such as a Braille Lite or BrailleNote.</li>
+ <li>A notetaker that can speak braille files, such as a PAC Mate, Braille 'n Speak, Type 'n Speak, or VoiceNote.</li>
+
+ <li>A computer with either a braille display or version 6 or later of Kurzweil 1000 or OpenBook 7 adaptive scanning software.</li>
+ <li>A braille reading device, such as a Bookworm.</li>
+ </ul>
+</p>
+
+
+<div class="faq_question"><a name="3" id="3"></a>How do I load eBraille into my hardware?</div>
+
+<p class="faq_answer">You load it the same way you would a text or
+Web-Braille file. Here are some possible scenarios:
+ <ul>
+ <li>If you're using a notetaker and have a disk drive designed to work with it, you can put the
+ eBraille disk in the disk drive and copy the file you want into your notetaker's memory.</li>
+
+ <li>If you're using a notetaker but don't have a specially designed disk drive, you can put the
+ eBraille disk into a computer's disk drive, attach the notetaker to the computer, and use a
+ terminal program to copy the file you want into your notetaker's memory. Terminal programs
+ you might use include Windisk, PCDisk, ActiveSync, HyperTerminal Private Edition, and Commo.</li>
+ <li>If you're using a Bookworm, you can put the eBraille disk into a computer's disk drive,
+ attach the Bookworm to the computer, and use the download program that came with the Bookworm
+ to copy the file you want into your notetaker's memory.</li>
+ <li>If you're using a computer with a braille display, you can put the eBraille disk in its disk drive and open the
+ file you want in a word processor like WordPad, Microsoft Word or WordPerfect 5.1.</li>
+ <li>If you're using a computer running an adaptive scanning program, you can put the eBraille disk in its disk drive
+ and open the file you want in that program.</li>
+ </ul>
+</p>
+
+
+<div class="faq_question"><a name="4" id="4"></a>Do I need any special software to read eBraille with a notetaker?</div>
+
+<p class="faq_answer">No. eBraille is a plain braille format; the only symbols it contain are braille characters,
+ carriage returns, and spaces. As long as your notetaker can handle braille files, you will be able to read eBraille.
+ If you are using a PAC Mate, open the file in the FS Editor, not Pocket Word.</p>
+
+
+<div class="faq_question"><a name="5" id="5"></a>Do I need any special software to read eBraille with a computer?</div>
+
+<p class="faq_answer">No. eBraille is in a plain braille format;
+the only symbols they contain are braille characters, carriage returns,
+and spaces. If you're using a computer with a braille display, you can
+open and read eBraille just fine in most word processors, including
+WordPad, Microsoft Word, and WordPerfect for Windows or DOS. If your
+braille display or screen reader normally translates text on your
+screen into contracted braille, just remember to turn this feature off
+(see the next question for more details).</p>
+
+<div class="faq_question"><a name="6" id="6"></a>Can I read eBraille with a computer and speech if I don't own a braille display?</div>
+
+<p class="faq_answer">Yes. If you own version 6 or later of either
+Kurzweil 1000 or OpenBook 7, simply open the eBraille file in either of these
+adaptive scanning programs.</p>
+
+<p class="faq_answer">Without such a program, eBraille sounds garbled
+if you try to listen to them with a screen reader. They are written in
+contracted braille, not text, so your screen reader has no way of
+knowing, for example, that when it sees the letter "C" all by
+itself, it should read it as "can." If you're using a braille display,
+however, the file will appear on the display in contracted braille and
+you will be able to read it. Just be sure that if your display or
+screen reader has a feature that translates text into contracted
+braille, this feature is turned off when you read eBraille. The file
+is already in contracted braille, so if your display tries to translate
+it into contracted braille, you will see gibberish.</p>
+
+<div class="faq_question"><a name="7" id="7"></a>What's the difference between eBraille and a Web-Braille book? </div>
+
+<p class="faq_answer">There is no difference. Previously eBraille
+contained some specialized formatting; they are now
+formatted exactly like Web-Braille books.</p>
+
+<div class="faq_question"><a name="9" id="9"></a>How much space will eBraille take up in my notetaker's memory?</div>
+
+<p class="faq_answer">It depends on the book. A short book, like
+<a href="http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/CHEESE.html?id=3kHEpoCT&mv_pc=779">Who Moved My Cheese</a>, is 70K
+(kilobytes), while our longest, <a href="http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/HP5.html?id=3kHEpoCT&mv_pc=780">Harry Potter and the Order
+of the Phoenix</a>, is over a megabyte long. Except in rare instances,
+no eBraille volume is over 125K.</p>
+
+<div class="faq_question"><a name="10" id="10"></a>Which books are available as eBraille?</div>
+
+<p class="faq_answer">All our current titles (and most of our past
+ones) are available, except those that include a significant number of
+tactile graphics, like <a href="http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/TOUCH.html?id=3kHEpoCT&mv_pc=781">Touch the Stars</a>.</p>

+
+<P>
+We at National Braille Press appeal to you not to duplicate electronic
+download versions of our books. It would be easy enough to do, but
+it would have a negative effect on our efforts to offer low-cost
+accessible products, like this one, in the future.

You can also choose to have your new issue sent as an attachment to the message.
