I reported a similar problem last Wendesday night. I downloaded a book on to
my Voice Sense; then transferred it to Stream. A lot of the words were
shordened and shuffeled together. Strangely enough. the .brf read fine on my
VS. Just for fun, I saved it as .txt, and it read on the Stream fine.
Are you downloading it on to a regular PC or a note taker? Do you transfer it
to anything.
Whatever you're doing, you might try saving as .txt first. I know that would
be frustrating if you are using a braille display, but it might work.
