<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We have a student who is in need of a few textbooks converted to Math DAISY format. We originally had scoped out a vendor but due to our timeline and their busy schedule, it may not work out. Have people sent
Math DAISY conversion jobs to any vendors they would recommend?<br>
<br>
And if you do the conversions, in house, could you describe the workflow (we would be starting with scanned images of book pages in PDF) that it takes to get it to Math DAISY format? If you have a document, that would also be helpful. And lastly, what types
of extra staffing or help (along with job descriptions) did you have to add to get these conversions done?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
