Hi, Scott. I think this would be a great way to move the *.ARK files more
quickly. I've got an older version of OPENBook and I've been making myself
download mostly the files submitted in this format. The only problem is, some
of them are text book files, and I'd really feel more comfortable downloading
those if I knew I could get my hands on a print copy or some sighted help to be
sure everything is in order. Otherwise, I've got no problem downloading and
resubmitting in RTF format. Maybe when Marissa gets back she can add this to
her very long list of concerns... Hmm.

I have a kind of half formed thought about how we might be able to get more
people validating the .ark books. Could someone that has Openbook download the
file, convert it to .rtf, then release it back to the web site as a rich text
format file, thus allowing someone else to get their hands on the books they'd
personally like to validate? I might not quite have the logistics down, but
there must be a solution we can work out.

Hi Alison,
Arc is the format used by Openbook, another OCR package that's a competitor
to Kurzweil. Unfortunately if you don't have Openbook, you can't work on those
files. It's a shame to because I would like to get my hands on that great big
pile of language teaching and learning books that someone submitted.
