[Athen] Don't transcribe the Bible

[Deborah Armstrong via athen-list]

I recently heard from one of my students who told me for his divinity degree at another college he was having them transcribe the Bible in Braille for him.
He was here to brush up on math over the summer. He had emailed me with a question about UEB and happened to mention this.
Anyway, I just want everyone on this list to know that they should not need to transcribe any version of the Bible in Braille large print or an electronic format.
You can find 25 versions here in mostly HTML but some in Braille as well:
Optasia Library<https://www.optasiaministry.org/library.htm>
And to get it on a flash drive go here:
Optasia Ministry<https://www.optasiaministry.org/>
Also there are lots of versions in Daisy on bookshare.
There is also the Bible Gateway website and app.
And you can also order free hardcopy Braille from several online sources though hardcopy needs over sixteen feet of shelf space.
Large print Bibles are available too for free mostly as well as audio bibles from NLS and other sources. Study bibles are less available but surf around. Surf before you OCR or transcribe anything!
