Hi Marty,
We would still prefer it if you would unite broken words that span two pages
onto one page.
Thanks for asking!

Hello Pam and Bookshare Friends,
I always combine hyphenated words that span 2 pages because it used to
say so in the manual. Is that no longer the case? Could one of the staff
help here?

Hi Bookshare Friends,
I am concerned as Scott Rains had made this quite clear in the past: If we
change the text of a book that is not a regular "scanning" error or
sanctioned by Bookshare, we may LOSE the opportunity to help many other
people be able to read accessible books. I understand that leaving words
that don't make sense goes "against the grain" in our minds, but this quite
important. I beg you to follow the manual and what is passed on to us by
Mayrie and Alisa!
Your concerned friend,
Pam Hoffard

When I do proofread Braille, I will fix something like that because it can
cause confusion. If it is obvious, I'll change it partly because in a way if
I don't it will reflect on me. People assume we made the errors, not the
book editors.

Yes. Once I saw rime, when the word was obviously time. I checked on
books.google.com, and the word was written as rime there as well. It didn't
make sense, and I confess to changing it to time. I know that when I was a
student I would have really scoffed at rime instead of time.

EScellent point, Sue. We ought to be allowed to change scannos even if the
errors are in the print book, since I assume it is the author's words we
don't want to change, not publishers' mistakes, if the book has not been
edited well; maybe m y assumption is incorrect.

Well, you know, I don't get it. Some things we are allowed tochange, even
though we are told we cannot tamper with books as published; whereas, if we
see a scanno and it is in the print book, we cannot change it. To me, that
doesn't sound logical. Why are we allowed to change hyphenated words?
Don't get me wrong; I have always done that, but I still don't see the
logic.

I see it all the time when scanning books. Just because word processors
don't do it, doesn't mean books don't do it.
