Hi Ann,

Not Grandma Cindy, but one way to avoid confusion would be to call the 
people who scan books submitters.  That is how the bookshare staff refer to 
them.  <smile>

Hi all,

Grandma, if you like it, then, we should start a fad.  It may not be
correct outside of Bookshare, but I think it does make sense to
distinguish between the machine (scanner) and its user (a scannor).
So long as we all know what we mean, that's OK.  However, I hope it
doesn't make life difficult for outsiders or people who inadvertently
use the convention elsewhere than in Bookshare circles.  For me, it
makes sense.   Yes, in Braille they are different, and in speech they
sound similar, but people can always check char by char.
