I wish that were possible. I once wrote to the volunteer address asking if
since I have both Kurzweil and Openbook available to me, if I could download
and convert them then release them for others to validate, but the response, I
believe from Jessi at the time, was that when you release a book it is put back
up in it's original format/condition.
I would like to hear Bookshare's opinion of this first, but if they don't
object, if anyone wants me to convert a kes or ark file for them they can
always download and email the file to me, then I'd be willing to convert it and
send it back to them in order to validate.

I have a kind of half formed thought about how we might be able to get more
people validating the .ark books. Could someone that has Openbook download the
file, convert it to .rtf, then release it back to the web site as a rich text
format file, thus allowing someone else to get their hands on the books they'd
personally like to validate? I might not quite have the logistics down, but
there must be a solution we can work out.

Hi Alison,
Arc is the format used by Openbook, another OCR package that's a competitor
to Kurzweil. Unfortunately if you don't have Openbook, you can't work on those
files. It's a shame to because I would like to get my hands on that great big
pile of language teaching and learning books that someone submitted.
