I haven't followed the discussion on this topic. But if you need help with
Kuzweil 1000 there is a listserv for users. If you have questions on how to do
things with K1000, people on this list will be happy to help you.

If people are using software such as OpenBook or Kurzweil, then it is not up to
Bookshare to teach them how to use it. The software has manuals and, in my
experience, fairly intuitive menus. But if that's not so, there are plenty of
people using lots of various software who can help with it and who are
subscribed to the list. I shouldn't think that they ought to be in the business
of teaching us how to use the software.

Is there anywhere in the submit manual a description of how to convert a file
to RTF? I have wondered if these people submitting in other than RTF formats
just don't know how to convert. Jill

Hi, Misha. According to the Bookshare staff, Bookshare's server runs on a
flavor of UNIX. They do not have a file converter that can process ark, kes,
and wyn files when they come in. Files are simply zipped upon receipt and are
placed in the step 1 area. For these reasons, I'm in favor of making rtf the
only format for submitting books. Alas, the answer to that suggestion has been
no. A girl can still hope though. (smile)

format, why not allow submitting in kes and ark, but they would convert those
to rtf before putting them on step 1 (or do submitted files automatically
appear on step 1 immediately?
