Hi Judy,

Did you ever compare the Daisy version of a book to the brf version? I'm not doubting your veracity; I'm just wondering how you were able to determine that the errors in the brf files were being introduced by Bookshare.

This could be very helpful in pinpointing any problems.

Evan

Evan, thanks for bringing up this problem. I haven't run into this word splitting in any DAISY book I've downloaded in the last few months since the new site went live, and I've downloaded several hundred.

I used to read entirely from brf books. However, I've quit downloading braille books from Bookshare. Once the new site went live, the brf files were riddled with errors that Bookshare was introducing, and I lost patience trying to figure out if it was a a bad scan that got through, poor proofing that got through, or errors in Bookshare's translation tools. So now I only download daisy books, and translate them from xml into text.

Judy s.
