Hey all,

I have my first braille reader this semester, so learning all about embossing. Currently we have Duxbury on one computer, and our embosser on a different network (Yay funding sources). Working on getting a Duxbury license on the same system as the embosser, but in the meantime, is there a way for me to export the file from Duxbury and still emboss it? It's a TigerMax embosser if that changes anything. We have Braille Blaster on the computer connected to the embosser, but I'm needing to do a mix of English and French braille, and from what I can tell, Braille Blaster doesn't support two languages in the same document.

If anyone has any guides for students that read UEB learning a foreign braille code that would be much appreciated too. Currently working through the BANA and UKAAF guides to UEB with foreign language transcriptions. And found a couple Canadian resources, but everything is geared at transcribing, not helping the student learn the new language.

The student also informed me last week that they are having problems with the Vista Super Site. I just reached out to Vista Higher Learning to see if they have any suggestions, but if anyone has any tips for using Vista's SuperSite that would be great too.

Thanks,
