Braille-Edit and BEX were significant Apple II software products that brought voice, braille, and word processing for blind students to blind individuals and to schools across the United States. The extensive documentation allowed individuals and educators across the nation to set systems up themselves.

The BEX Manuals were written by Jesse Kaysen, Caryn Navy and David Holladay.
This is not a scan of the original BEX manual. This is a synthetic manual, created by salvaging the original BEX disks used to produce the BEX Manual, and converting the data to PC textfiles.
The files were converted into html format. These were cleaned up by global replace and hand editing. The basic html files were converted to an html file formatted to appear to be similar to the appearance to the original BEX manuals via a global replace, using Joe Sullivan's Scrub program. Microsoft Word was used to convert the upgraded html files into pdf files.
