Something Cool for ADA Sign Makers

[Keith Outten]

Angus,

Aaron's Forum will be in the Manufacturers Forums area near the bottom of the main page.

Now that I sold my Vision rotary to Keith...I really really need this script. Mr Outten, during his personal visit yesterday, with his lovely wife Jackie, has convinced me that I need to be headed into Corian signage. Keith is very passionate about his product and process, to the point that he even got my wife interested in making Corian pens. She already has all the tools including the lathe, so hopefully he built a sufficient fire there to get her going. Anyway, it was great meeting Keith and Jackie, we had a great conversation!

Hi
I have never used it to this date nor needed it but think it would open up some new doors. Count me in I would be willing to have that option.

I was able to talk to Aaron on the phone this afternoon about his script. Aaron has a project he is working on with a serious deadline but....he promised that as soon as he could get a few minutes he was going to create his new Forum here and upload his script and the instructions.

I am beating him about the head and shoulders every chance I get so he doesn't forget to get this done and I will continue until he is bloody if that is what it takes

Tomorrow I will threaten to take away his next five birthdays.

Wednesday I will get serious

I see they are training him right there, in Doctorate school. I have yet to meet a doctor that could maintain a schedule.

[Scott Shepherd]

Maybe if you tell him that there will be loads of little blind kids who can't find their way through buildings until he posts the script?

Poor little kids......and all because Aaron is so selfish that he thinks studying is far more important than helping the kids.

Shame....shame.....shame. Come on Aaron, do it for the kids

[Keith Outten]

Yesterday was Aaron's deadline for his latest projects so this morning he should have some time to get to his list of things to do that are not related to William and Mary

He is on Christmas break until after the first of the year now...we shall see

LOL, but which list will he start with, his SMC To-Do list or the Honey-do list

Angus,

I think you're on to something! Yes, my latest semester has been incredibly time consuming, more than I could have ever imagined, but on the bright side it has finally come to an end. Of course, now comes along all of the other projects I haven't been able to do for the past four months!

I have the script in hand and I am testing to make sure it will work for Corel X4/Vista. I am also putting together an installer. I know it works for X3, and Corel 12, although I will need Keith to test it once more.

Hopefully, with some feedback, I'll be able to make improvements to the software. To reference an earlier post, I decided to write a grade 2 Braille engine from scratch--it's a very complicated problem; thesis-worthy. The most popular translators today are based on some research done back in the late 70's. By last August, my translator was successful to about 98% accuracy, using a newer method, but the last 2% will likely require considerable changes and some consultation with a trained human Braille translator to answer some outstanding questions of mine.

That said, the script I am releasing is based on a very accurate grade 2 Braille translator. If I get enough support, I will certainly continue development on the Corel script based on any feedback, and may pursue further development of my other translator.

The new script will be available sometime tomorrow.

[Angus Hines]

GREAT looking forward to it Aaron. Wish I could remember the name but there is a huge company in Stuart FL that creates just translators of diffrent types for the blind.
If I remember I'll PM you with the info.

[Bob Cole]

That is great Aaron. I look forward to supporting your efforts.

[Angus Hines]

Angus,

The new script will be available sometime tomorrow.

Oh Aaron you've got to be the hardest person in the world to give money to.....LOL. I got 49.95 burning a hole in my pocket for this.

Were all still waiting with baited breath.....hoping all those poor blind children don't walk into a janitors closet somewhere

[Aaron Koehl]

Been working on it all day-- I found that the code will not currently work with 64-bit version of Vista, and so I am currently adding some routines to allow that to work, but it requires some recompilation in a separate development environment. Also making some changes and adding some error detection, since the original was written specific to Keith's setup-- better to make these updates up front!

[Larry Bratton]

Me too! Let me know when to send the money!
(as I no longer have the Vision machine..I sold it to Keith)

LOL YAY Vista F's it up again...Go Bill G. Thanks for getting it right to begin with. However error detection can come later in an update. I don't mind going through versions to eventually get it exact it's a godd way to to build stuff beta it then make the upgrades as useres find issues.

But yea that Vista thing needs to be on top of the list.

Have fun with the Kitchen project.....Fun ain't it.
