LITCHARTS aren’t just the newest series of literature guides on the web. They’re also the fastest, smartest, and free-est series of literature guides on the web.

I checked the online and PDF versions and Kurzweil 3000 was able to read the text. It is such a change to find something useful and free to be accessible.  Kudos to LITCHARTS

Conventional study guides have all followed the same tired formula since the creation of CliffsNotes in 1958. No longer.  LITCHARTS breaks the mold by introducing a number of innovations that make our guides extra-effective and easy-to-use.

Highspeed Scanning Service with Kurzweil, PDF Conversion

Last fall I posted a list of companies or organizations that offered high speed scanning services for people who wanted their books in a Kurzweil format (.kesi files) and could not get them any other way.  Tech-Solutions Scanning needs to be added to the list on that post but I wanted to have a separate post for it as a reminder of having books scanned as an option.

Their membership tab gives a 404 error so I can’t tell how much a membership costs or how that relates to the cost of getting a book scanned and converted into .kesi files.  You can get more information at:

FAX – 1-406-538-8174

Our books are ready to use by your STUDENTS.

Why are Tech-Solutions books so popular?
