Julie,
I'm not sure if it actually does strip all formatting. I have to double
check that.
I did manage to validate one book so far on it, but it was a very clean
submission, and I really didn't need to do anything but read it through to
check for erors the submitter missed.

If the Braille Sense strips all formatting I wouldn't think you'd want to
use it at all. even if you ran it through Kurzweil first, then running it
through the Braille Sense would still strip whatever formatting there was.
Take care.

I agree, E.! I'm not going to stop running the books through K1000 unless
there was/is a better way with just the note taker.
What seems to be a problem in using a note taker is formatting. Someone
awhile ago, I think it might've been Shelly, said that the Braille Sense, in
particular, strips all formatting. This makes me think that the BS might
not be the best thing for straight validating, but it would still be good
for catching other sorts of mistakes, odd characters which the spell
checker/rank spelling in K1000 might not catch, etc.
Any thoughts?

The thing about using k1000 first before a notetaker (assuming you have it
available to you) is this. It catches patterns and lots of little tiny
things. Yes it does miss certain classes of things. Nevertheless, rank
spelling is just so fast and catches so much. Running it is quite fast given
what it catches. And improving the rank can kind of be like playing a
twisted scrabble or puzzle. (grin)
