> Thank you, Manuel.  I would suspect the school would have some braille
> capabilities.  I got involved with this helping a friend replace his
> dependence on a Windows screen reader called Jaws.  He has been quite
> impressed with its capabilities, and enjoys the added advantage of not
> being infected frequently by viruses (a problem he had with the Windows
> environment, and which likely impacts others with similar issues).  The
> Windows/Jaws solution appears to be the most common solution, but is quite
> expensive.  Vinux is, of course, OpenSource.  Thank you for the referral to
> IPHE.  I will attempt to contact them.
