Hi Debra,
Sometimes in Braille, it works to have one person's information in italics and one not--e.g., the question in italics and the answer in plain font. Another thing that is sometimes done is Q. and A. at the beginning of appropriate lines. I guess what I like about the initials is that it reminds one who is speaking. That's usually done by writing the last name out the first time each person speaks, then using initials after that. 

Just a couple of other suggestions.

Hi Bob,

That's good to know--thank you. I think that's what I'll do too.

A couple of years ago I read "the life of pie". Near the end the author had 
a conversation as you described: different fonts for different speakers.
This made that part of the book wholly indecipherable. I turned in a quality
report, and, to the best of my recollection bookshare took the approach you 
suggest. They inserted the speaker's name.

Hope this helps.

Bob

Hi all,

The book I am currently scanning has a couple of chapters that are in the
form of an interview. Many books I have scanned like this have the speaker's 
name or initials preceding his/her comments.
This book uses only font and a blank line to distinguish between the two,
making it difficult with speech to tell who is speaking.
Can I insert the speaker's initials before his/her comments, or is that
changing the text too much?

All comments appreciated...
Deborah
