I would probably leave it as it is, Sue. Just my humble opinion, for
whatever it's worth!

Thanks to everyone who responded to my query.  Maybe I should add the word
Chapter?  I looked on books.google.com, and it also just gave the Roman
numerals.  So would adding the word Chapter be changing publisher material,
which is a no-no?

Hi, Sue, well, I can tell you that Jaws recognizes them, but it doesn't
always pronounce them correctly as Roman numerals. I can't answer for other
screen readers. I'd have to check and see what the System Access screen
reader does. Want me to find out and give you the result? Regards, Kim
Friedman.

Hi folks,

 

In the book I am now proofing, the chapters are numbered with Roman numerals
instead of Arabic numbers.  They look fine in Braille, even without the word
"chapter".  They are also being protected by page numbers above them.  My
question:  How would speech programs interpret them?  I am bolding them at
16 point, as is correct.  Will speech programs recognize them as Roman
numerals?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Sue S.
