Hi Judy,
Thanks again for your feedback on this. I reported the problem you were
having to engineering and they looked into it and made some changes that
hopefully have taken care of the issue. Can you try it out again with
your voice recognition software and see if their fix did the trick?
Thanks!
All good things,
Pavi

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Wish List & Books Being Scanned List on wiki
Hi Pavi,
I love the idea! The current setup, however, is a pain in the
butt to use with my voice-recognition software. Every long line
of text scrolls off to the right of the screen to some set point,
and then wraps, instead of wrapping as it should on an ordinary
display. So I am constantly having to scroll right to read a
long line, then scroll back to read the beginning of the next
line, which means I have to use about eight commands to move
around on a the screen to read each line. Ick! Someone needs to
tweek the html so that the pages don't do that. smile.

Dear All,
I wanted to let you know that we are working to make the Bookshare Wish
List and the Books Being Scanned List that Cindy compiles, available on
the Bookshare wiki along with the Scanning & Proofreading Manual. At
this point, I have basically cut and pasted the lists Cindy sends out to
these pages. One of the immediate advantages of this is that you can use
the search feature on the wiki to search both lists at once. Before
making an announcement about these links to the entire volunteer
community I was hoping to have some of you on the volunteer list take a
look, and let me know how they work for you so that we have a chance to
improve them if necessary.
Here are the links to the two lists:
1. Bookshare Wish List:

2. Bookshare Being Scanned List:

Looking forward to hearing from you – and as always gratitude to Cindy
for all her painstaking work.
All good things,
Pavi
