I've asked Marissa about adding the word chapter in the past, and she said
she thought it was allowed.
It isn't really a big deal to me, but it does make searching easier.

Rick,
I don't believe you and Cindy are talking about the same thing. Cindy is
talking about a way to keep the chapter heading from being stripped by the
Stripper, and it sounds like you're talking about adding the word Chapter to
the text of the book to make it easier to recognize headings when reading
them after downloading them from the collection. I'm not sure if adding the
word Chapter to the text is acceptable to Bookshare or not. I'd suggest
asking Gustavo before doing it. As for Cindy's tip about the Stripper, if
it works, and it sounds like it would, the word Chapter would be stripped
and wouldn't appear in the text of the book when it makes it into the
collection, but it would keep the chapter number from being stripped because
the Stripper confused it with a header.
Gerald

Thanks, Cindy. I don't know much about the stripper. Just the old record I had in the 1960's by David Rose. It was a big hit. Razza ma tazzy big brass and drums. (grin)
Okay, I'm glad to hear that putting the word chapter in front of the chapter
number sounds okay.

I have put the word chapter, though not in all caps, on the line before the number, in order to protect the number from the automatic stripper. I also go down several lines and sometimes, if the book does, put the chapter number mid-page. But if the stripper is stripping that word, I'd be happy to put the word chapter in front of the number, too. I wouldn't think it a problem, since we close up hyphenated words at the ends of lines and pages.
From a stripper point of view, I don't understand why the stripper strips the numbers, since they are different, but no one really undrstands the stripper. Maybe when Jennifer starts work the stripper is one of the problems she can solve.

When Empire Falls is approved, Jill, please if you think of it, drop me a line or post to the list. I would indeed like to read that last 50 pages or so.
Just about done with Mohawk. Excellent scan!
Question:
When I read a book with chapter numbers just listed as numbers, I find that speech just flips on by and I miss that I have begun a new chapter.
Is it okay to put the word CHAPTER in all caps in front of the chapter number? It seems as a reader I would like it very much. But I am wondering if it is something that would be considered too much tampering.
Thanks. Rik

I was the submitter of Empire Falls and wrote to Bookshare a couple of weeks
ago about it as it was submitted in either September or October. I have three books waiting under the same conditions. I especially referred to Empire Falls in my letter; since this is a Pulitzer prize winner, I think it
is a shame to have only a fair copy in the catalog. Since Bookshare encourages the rescan of fair books, one would think they would be approved sooner, but I have had several books approved since the three I referred to were submitted. Jill
