More to the point, the stripper and Bookshare acceptance tools are being rewritten and are coming live soon, hopefully before my next birthday. So any new policies based on the current stripper will be a band-aid and could create confusion affecting books for years, long after the initial reason for the policy has been removed. That's why I think the current practice of putting a page number, a blank line, and then the chapter name or number works well and would still be acceptable if the books are processed with any new Bookshare tools in the future. Inserting extra words changes the book, and the use of the word chapter above the chapter heading could end up looking really strange if the stripper isn't around to remove it. Unlike Roger, I don't want to hear the word "page" while I'm reading. I definitely wouldn't want to keep seeing it in Braille. I want to hear and see nothing but the text, actual page number, and chapter headings. Doing a global removal of the word "page" wouldn't work very well since the book may use that word as part of the text. It would be one more thing to mentally filter out as background noise.

Although I do not do this, people add the word "Chapter" above chapter headings to protect them from the Stripper, so I don't see why adding the word "page" in front of page numbers would be a problem in principle. But there is another problem. If the page number is at the top, I'll bet the Stripper would remove the word "page", thinking of it as a header. Or, as likely as not, given that the stripper doesn't always seem to be consistent, it would remove it in some places and leave it in others, making it useless.
