Many years ago, maybe 10 or so like around 1998, I made for myself files for each month (Gregorian) for the daily readings. For each month (Baha’i) I used the name of the month as a guideline for selecting a reading for the day – both morning and evening. I still have these files and am now converting them to be readable using Microsoft Word 2000 which I have on my computer. First I checked all the file definitions and changed them to ‘.doc’ and then recompiled them in the new form. So far the first part is done and I am working on the second part.
Our local blind Baha’i demonstrated the possibility of making them available to blind people because there exists a program which she has on her computer which reads out loud what is written on the screen. She is now checking out the daily readings to see if all works well and to pinpoint any problems. Some of those problems arise because of the way Persian or Arabic names are spelled. Some of the diacritical marks or letters do seem to confuse the reader.
