Joyce Rabinowitz: A Type Like No Other


URL: http://www.jewishjournal.com/articles/item/joyce_rabinowitz_a_type_like_no_other_20060106

Joyce Rabinowitz, 76, is a volunteer Braille transcriber. She takes the printed word and, using a special computer program called Braille 2000, transforms it letter by letter into a prescribed set of dots that she saves to disk and gives to the Braille Institute. Each disk, with the help of an embossing machine, is used to produce a book written in raised dot text that a blind person can read with his or her fingers.
