Hi Melissa, I have a BrailleNote and when I looked at what was on it, the
first thing looked like three dots 4, 6 written close together. The second
symbol appeared to look like a complete Braille cell. In Braille, an
ellipsis is three apostrophes written one after another (dot 3). Regards,
Kim Friedman.

If you know what the symbol is I would be happy to try this as I have a
braille display. I too had Kurzweil recognize this once and say elipsis
instead of dot, dot, dot.

Just wondering if the Braille conversion tool would recognize an ellipses as
such if we used the actual symbol for an ellipses instead of the 3 periods
together. I've noticed that my screen reader will sometimes say ellipses and
sometimes just say dot dot dot. I'm thinking that if the Braille conversion
tool would recognize the actual ellipses, it would be displayed correctly in
Braille and print and work for everybody. Perhaps this is something that
needs to be checked with engineering to know for sure.

Hi Jill,
Â
The question is, how do we format books to be the most correct for everyone?
I know this sounds opinionated, and I'm sorry, but I'm not sure this is
always possible to achieve in one book. For example, if we format correctly
for braille, (such as in the ellipses we've been discussing forever),
perhaps a dyslexic reader is not getting his or her needs (which are just as
important) met? What is the answer, I wish I knew. Thanks for letting me
vint everyone! Are you feeling any differently about working with us, Scott?
Sure do hope not.
