Yes, the words end caption, end sidebar, etc. would be preferable in my opinion. In an earlier message I noted that reading with punctuation turned off produces only the very slightest of hesitations in speech.

There's usually a line space before the text, but I can see that it might be eliminated. Would another bracket be sufficient, i.e., the whole caption be enclosed in brackets, as well as the word caption, or would the words end of caption be preferable? DItto phoro descriptions? I'm proofing now a book that has so many different headings on each page, that i'm getting confused, and I have decided that rather than doing what I'm doing now, i.e., proofing eacxh page and then going on to the next, I'm gong to go through all the pages and put the vaarious hadings into the various fonts, bold, caps, etcx., required, and also redo the phoot descriptions, then go back and resume proofing the pages' texts, so I can now put "end of description" bvefore the lines tha follow the photo, if you like.CindyWish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned list available at sites belowWish List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Wish+ListBooks Being Scanned List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Books+Being+Scanned+List--- On *Mon, 4/19/10, Debby Franson /<the.bee@xxxxxxxxxxx>/* wrote: From: Debby Franson <the.bee@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Labeling captions, sidebars, etc just thinking To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, April 19, 2010, 9:55 AM Hi Melissa! I think it would be helpful to know when a caption or sidebar ends too. Just write those messages between brackets as you would any other type of scanner or proofer's message.

One thing I've been thinking about is how we lable image captions sidebars and the like. That is that we just mark the beginning. So, you'd have [image caption > > ] the caption, and the the text immediately starts back up. Sometimes, when listening this way, I kind of have to think for a second, because there's no pause between the end of the caption and the resumption of the text. I realized that the NLS books say end of caption or end of sidebar when they've reached the end. I'm wondering if it would be helpful to anyone else if we incoorporated this, and if it would be acceptable by Bookshare. > -- > Melissa Smith > > To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to > bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx </mc/compose?to=bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
