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,

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.
