Your description, as written, is excellent.I'm pretty sure the strikeout key wouldn't translate into anything meaningful in the braille file, and am not sure about the daisy file.
But, the description, should be apparent to anyone reading the book.Carrey and I recently encountered a similar problem in a science fiction book. The page was a reproduction of a newspaper page, and didn't scan at all.
We put in something like, "[scanner's note: this page is....]" Hope this helps. Bob----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>

Yes, that's clear, at least to me. Or---can you use the strikeout key? If so, would the strike-out be retained when converted by bookshare?

It doesn't scan well at all, but that's not my issue; I got a sighted person to read it to me. My question is this: In one part of the text, a name is written, crossed out, and replaced with something else. How do I convey that in my submission without spoiling the joke? What I've currently done is this: "[The power of the sword] ... will soon be in the hands of the Mighty Captain Ja [crossed out] Barnacle's crew." "Captain Ja" is the portion that was crossed out. Is that obvious given the way I've presented it, and if not, how do you suggest I represent that?
