That's not acceptable!!!
The BookShare spell checker accumulates errors and puts them in a
table--one line for each type of misspelling.
MsWord finds them one at a time--often thousands.

I followed up with our engineering team about the quality check function in Bookshare. The quality report numbers from the quality check did not have very much meaning, so a decision was made to disable it. Unfortunately, spell check has also been disabled because it was part of the quality check function. We are asking volunteers to run spell check within the editor that they are using to proof the RTF prior to submitting books to Bookshare.
We apologize for not notifying you about this change earlier and for any concern and frustration it caused. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hi Evan,
I uploaded three books on Thursday or Friday and got the very same thing. Frankly, I didn’t know if they would go through, but they did. It’s disconcerting, for sure!

Hey Guys,
I submitted a book just now, but for what I think is the first time ever, I didn’t get a quality report when I uploaded it, just the generic text about what makes a book get an Excellent rating and so on; but nothing about how many misspellings it found, nor how many page breaks. Anyone else seen that?
Evan
