Dear Pamnani, Sorry for the delay in replying to your Mail. I am working in NAB Workshop for the Blind as Instructtor in-charge Stenography Section for last 15 years or so. My interest in raising this topic at Accessindia was only to help my trainees. I will try to get more accurate data in this regard from my trainees as soon as they return from Divali vacation. Thank you for the concern and dedication with which you have taken up the matter. I am sure we will certainly succeed. Sincerely, C. B. Kulkarni. --- pamnani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
