That is fine by me, I hope I didn't sound too confusing when I wrote you privately regarding this subject.
Smile take care, Chela --"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti

Folks,Just slipping into the conversation for a moment to apologize. With two back-to back meetings I have not read the thread and now must run to the next.Scott Rains Bookshare Volunteer Coordinator, Interim ________________________________________From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of EVAN REESE [mentat3@xxxxxxxxxxx]Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 12:45 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: EllipsesThe braille conversion tool definitely didn't used to be able to handle the ellipsis character. There used to be a tip on Jake's site on how to replace that character with the three periods so the book would look right in braille. But that was years ago. It may very well be able to handle it now, but I wouldn't use it unless I knew for sure that it would come out properly.Evan ----- Original Message ----- From: Melissa Smith<mailto:mdsmith25@xxxxxxxx> To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 7:37 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: EllipsesJust 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.Melissa Smith On 5/27/2010 12:12 AM, Susan wrote: Hi Jill, ÂThe 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?
