Hello all,
Gerald is correct. The current andfuture DAISY player have/will have the capability to display different formatting attributes. Some DAISY players already sport the capability of changing fonts according to user preferences. And, I suspect that this capability will be added in future versions. For those bookshare users who are able to look at the actual text--primarily individuals with learning disabilities, it is important that we preserve the original formatting as much as possible. Unless it specifically interferes with the reading, it should be left alone.
Regards,
Pratik

Dilsia,
I've asked john to get you an answer for this one since it depends on
whether or not the different DAISY readers and BRF devices support
displaying the different attributes. I suspect that some do, and it's
Bookshare's policy to attempt to reproduce the printed book as closely as
the technology allows, so I suspect that the answer to your question will be
to leave it as is.
HTH
Gerald

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Book's text fonts and special formatting
Dear Booksharians:
I have a a question, ok when you scan and ocr a
book, and the book has different types of fonts and
formats like italics, bold, underline. ÂWould it be
better to put all the text say in Arial, without the
bells and whistles of the fonts and letter formatting?
Thanks for your attention
DilsiaM from her castle
