The information I received when I joined recently  said to upload books I
K1000 if they were scanned in that.

That's too bad.  And it's not like it would be hard for people who use
Openbook to convert their books to .rtf before they submit.  I guess if they
don't know they can do it, they won't do it.  Do the volunteers who join
Bookshare, and I'm asking because I can't remember myself, get specific
instructions encouraging .rtf submissions whenever possible, including using
OpenBook or Kurzweil?

        Hi Scott:
        You can't do that because you'd have to resubmit the book and so the
original person who submitted it wouldn't get the credit. And also you'd
have to reject the ark. 
        Many of the ark file are text books. I really dislike validating
those. However, I try to validate 1 text book amonth.
        I just validated a book about Crumwell. It took some time because it
wasn't scanned with 2 page mode, I had to add the page breaks.

                I'll be honest, I've tried validating, and unless the book
is something I like, I don't feel comfortable validating it.  That's why I
usually scan, and then validate the same book.  My question is, could I
download an ark file from the step 1 page and convert it to rtf and then put
it back on the step 1 page so that someone else might validate it?

                        I also have openbook. So if there's an ark book on
the download page that you're dying to read, let me know and I will validate
it. However, it may be after convention since I am going to the NFB
convention.
                        BTW, 1 of the books that I am working on is an ark.
Lately I've ignored the arks and been doing txt.

                                Hi All.  I think from the scanning
discussions most of us use kurzweil which means all those ark files from
openbook can't be validated.  I think a good project for someone like Gisela
or any other openbook users would be to convert .ark to .rtf so more books
can be validated.  I have an old version of open book v4.0 I think before
switching to Kurzweil a few years ago.  I can't convert .ark files from
newer versions of openbook.  In fact, the only reason I still have my old
version is that I'm converting some personal and textbook files to .rtf.  I
also save kurzweil files as .rtf so I can refer to them within word when
writing papers or reports for school and work.
                                Just some thoughts.
