Does anyone know why books.google.com would not work correctly on an iphone?
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi John,
I think that someone here looked up a word for you in books.google.com. If
your book is there, it’s a really good tool for checking words and things. In
your browser type books.google.com and hit enter
In the edit field, type the title of your book in quotes. Then a bit of text
either directly before or directly after the questionable word or words. This
ought to bring up what you’re looking for.

the word café contains the é.
How is this handled in Braille?
Are we supposed to convert é to plain e?
I find words like love seat written as loveseat (alternate spelling).
I can't tell if the space is left out by the author/editor or the scanner/ocr.
When those two words lack the space, the pronunciation is badly affected.
I find many words that I think should be hyphanated but aren't.
Again I can't tell if the scanner/ocr has done this, and these words also
aren't pronounced very well.
What do you experienced people think?
