I have used Braille since I was a child and have
decades of experience while working as a teacher and for the Federal government
in customer service and while reading for personal pleasure. Recently I completed
certification with the Library of Congress as a proofreader and intend to
continue with the Nemeth Code proofreading course after the required 6 month prerequisite
period has passed.
I have over 20 years experience with talking and Braille access computers and use popular computer software under Windows as well as a 40 character Braille display Pac Mate portable computer. Recently, I researched methods for converting various types of computer files into well formatted Braille documents using a forty cell display with either my PacMate or my computer.
I can accept either embossed documents or computer files for proofing. I recognize that computer files are not suitable for some situations such as tables and tabular material and I also know that readers are needed to verify printed material at times. Therefore, I have available reader assistance where needed, including asking my husband to serve as a part-time reader as well as friends who are retired from teaching math and other topics.
