MessageHi Lissi,
This is really ironic since I read all of my bookshare books in Braille as
well. And you know, I do use the navigation in books. Some chapters I may
want to skip, or some read again.
What is ironic is that I didn’t even think of this. Okay!! I’ll write the
word Chapter before each one. Thanks for this reminder that I should have
thought of on my own.

Dear Sue,
I add the word chapter. Enlarging the font helps with daisy navigation but not
braille. The word chapter helps with navigation in BRF files. It's an
adaptation making the book accessible to braille readers which is one of the
main intentions of Bookshare so I think it's fine. I read my Bookshare books in
braille. It would be so helpful to have the word chapter to search for in all
of the books I read. I count on Bookshare not to overlook the needs of its
braille readers.
Always with love,
Lissi

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.
