Amber:
If u use kurzweil, go to settings, then reading, & tab to where it
says punctuation marks will be spoken. The default is some. Change it
to all using your arrow keys. You can either do it on the fly when u
start a validating session or make it the default by saving your
settings as default. Then u could make another settings file, called
reading, for example, in which punctuation is set to some or none when
you're using k1000 for pleasure reading. Or u could save the settings
file & call it validate & just load it at the start of a validating
session. Kind a depends on how u use your k1000 most often.

Sorry Amber, I did not validate Pearl. However, I recently validated a
book
that got a good rating and I knew it deserved an excellent rating. There
was
a lot of slang in this book also.
A relatively new validator might be shy about arguing with the automated
tools, but they aren't perfect.
It's up to those of us who validate to correct the validator when it
tries
to give a good rating to a book that is, in actuality, excellent.
Just guessing about this though.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Pearl by Tabitha King
Hi all:
Did anyone on this list validate Pearl by Tabitha King? I worked
really
hard on it, and I noticed it had a "good" rating, instead of an
"excellent"
rating. Does anyone know why? I always want to improve my scans and I'm
baffled why this gets a "good" rating. It has a lot of dialogue but
that's
all I can think of.
Thanks.
Amber
