That's kind of what I thought, but wasn't really for sure.

Does bookshare's tools do away with all justification setting? If they do
not, we could right justify the page numbers. This wouldn't insert any extra
character, so to speak, for speech to worry about, and would put the numbers
where sighted readers expect them to be.

As a user of a screen reader it sounds fine, but if the titles and the page numbers are not in exact columns I don't think it will fulfill the purpose of a table for sighted readers, that is, providing information in a single glance without the necessity of reading it and thinking about it.

Hi everyone!

Here is a table of contents with the dot leaders as I found it. I didn't insert anything.

How does it look for you sighted readers?

How does it come out on a braille display?

How does it sound to those who use screen readers?

Window-Eyes, at least the way I have it set totally ignores these dot leaders. If I add periods like this on a line:

......
  Window-Eyes also ignores them.

Here's the table of contents.

Hi Judy and Valerie,

        Inserting an elipsis between items in a table of contents
and their
respective page numbers will work. Any more dots than that would be a potential nightmare for those reading with speech. Because in the dot leader format the screen readers might well read "dot dot dot dot
dot" etc
depending upon the amount of punctuation each user has spoken. So, if an elipsis would work for sighted readers better than just a space, I'm
happy
to begin inserting an elipsis instead.

Thanks, Valerie, for telling us how we can make things at least a little more usable for some folks.

I agree with Valerie. It is a torture to figure out tables of contents visually with just the single space. I'm perfectly happy with an
ellipsis
instead of the space, as an idea. I can't see any way that trying to figuour out how many periods to put in to make the right margin on each line, as is done with a printed book, will make sense or be anything
but a
nightmare to do if you're blind.  Having an ellipsis in makes it
perfectly
readable for me visually.

Golly, I hope I'm making sense. I had some major dental surgery today
and we
had to use enough anesthesia to bring an elephant down.  So I'm a bit
loopy!

Hi Debby,

I'd like more commentary from our sighted print disabled readers to know whether this will be helpful before I change my practises. I'm happy to change, as you are, but not willing to make a permanent change until or unless it is commented upon by more
than one person.
Vallerie, Doug, Judy, anyone else who is print disabled, but sighted want to comment on this?

Hi Mayrie!

Should I insert elipses in the table of contents in "Rebel With a
Cause"?
It wouldn't be a bother.

Hi Melissa,

That's a great idea! Let's see if it would work for folks like Valerie's Nichole, since Valerie was the one requesting a change. If it would work, I don't see how it would go against anything bookshare has
ever said.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Table Of Contents

I've been thinking about Valerye's concerns about the table of
contents.
I got to thinking about how Braille books have a series of dots between the chapter title and page number. So, I was wondering if inserting an ellipses between the chapter title and page number would be an appropriate
solution.
An ellipses will be recognized and kept by bookshare's tools, and will give some separation between chapter title and page number for those that need that. It wouldn't be spoken by most screen readers, so wouldn't interfere with anybody's listening
pleasure.
Finally, since Braille readers are used to the series of dots between chapter title and page number, it wouldn't seem unusual
to them
either.
So, do you think this would be acceptable and not violate any bookshare rules?
