Well, Mayrie, beats having to hassle Kurzweil, openbook, jaws, window-eyes, and all those companies that make notetakers and braille displays. At least we know where to vent our frustrations. <lol>

Hi Bob, It's bookshare's tool. Bummer, huh?

Is it bookshare's tool doing the messing up, or is it the translation program on the user's end?

It is that they are converted to that, or were last I knew, when turned into daisy files by Bookshare's tools. But to answer your question, both opening and closing quotes get mangled and disturb reading immensely.

Is the closing smart quote also a circumflex?

Whoever takes this book to proofread will need to change the smart quotes toregular quotes. This problem is not apparent to anyone using only speech.That is why I mention it. Also, OpenBook uses these smart quotes routinely. I don't know if Bookshare's tools have learned to deal with this problem. I think I remember someone saying that that is either in the works, or fixed, but if not corrected, smart quotes read as an a circumflex in the daisy books. I have no idea how munched they are in the brf files, but this change from smart quotes to regular quotes is easy to do in word. Just thought I'd mention it. Roger you didn't cause a problem, it's just an issue that OpenBook has for everyone.
