- Hi Chris,
-
- The typing was ok. Only one typo. Often I don't do that well myself.
-
- A friend of mine has one of those speech synthesizer things on her
- machine too. Just out of curiosity, when you hand in a piece to be
- brailled, how long is the turn-around? I didn't think there were that
- many Braillists who did music because it's so specialized. If the
- teacher/conductor hands out new piece at rehearsal, that means you're
- out of luck for a while, right?
-
- Does the laptop have a speech synthesizer in it too, or do you switch
- files from the laptop to your desktop machine later in the day to hear
- what you've written?
-
- At least the new technology is able to help some people!
-
- Keep playing and write when you can.
-
- Happiest of New Years to you!
