Braille is read line by line. Thus headers are extremely annoying in braille. Elizabeth At 02:13 AM 8/19/2009, you wrote:
Valerie, we are supposed to delete them, but be careful to leave the page number.As a sighted person, do you pay attention to them? I never do. smile. Maybe if I were reading a book of short stories I'd use them to find a particular story, but otherwise I just ignore them, I think those members who listen to books don't have that opportunity if the headers are present. I don't know how they affect Braille readers.CindyWish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned list available at sites belowWish List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Wish+ListBooks Being Scanned List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Books+Being+Scanned+List--- On Tue, 8/18/09, Valerie Maples <vlmaples@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Valerie Maples <vlmaples@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Question, was: submitted The Little Book To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2009, 3:13 PM Dear Bud; I just noticed that you also are a ham radio operator. I am also in my call sign is: N0HSJ <br>I have a question probably as much for the list as for you, and that was talking about all headers have been deleted. Do you mean at the top of the page were sometimes it has the title and/or the name of the chapter? I have not been deleting these, as I think they provide visual cues for sighted readers, but if I should be deleting them, I will start with my next book. Or, is it okay to do it whichever way and just make a note in the submissions? Thanks as always for everyone's help!
