Jill,
Did you download the Brf version of the book? I have seen this when I run
books through Duxbury. Some symbols such as \ | > come out showing up in the
text as the actual wordss, "back-slash", "bar", and my personal favorite,
"greater-than". One thing you can do if you want, is download the Daisy
version, and edit those characters out of the HTML file using MS-Word, then run
it through a translator yourself. I do this all the time, and find that the
results are much better than the brf files one can download from Bookshare.
Good luck,
Donna

I'm reading the word "bar" in braille.

Is the word spelled 'bar' or you just hear bar? You may be encountering
the vertical bar character, which is a junk char, which may be announced as
'bar'.

Subject [bksvol-discuss] a frequent appearing word
I am reading a Bookshare book at the present time (not validating) and I
frequently encounter the word "bar." This never fits into the context so I
assume it is probably a word resulting from the scan. Has anyone else seen this
and do you have any idea what causes it? Jill
