I usually label a caption with the words , for example, photo caption and then enclose those words and the caption itself in brackets, but I suppose it would be helpful to have the announcement that the end of the caption had come too. When listening to those items with a synthetic voice those brackets can pass by without being announced or else they can go by very quickly without their being noticed.

I've been trying to actually read some of the books I've downloaded from Bookshare, and not just the ones I'm proofing or scanning. One thing I've been thinking about is how we lable image captions sidebars and the like. That is that we just mark the beginning. So, you'd have [image caption] the caption, and the the text immediately starts back up. Sometimes, when listening this way, I kind of have to think for a second, because there's no pause between the end of the caption and the resumption of the text. I realized that the NLS books say end of caption or end of sidebar when they've reached the end. I'm wondering if it would be helpful to anyone else if we incoorporated this, and if it would be acceptable by Bookshare.-- Melissa Smith To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
