Pratik,
Just a small addendum to the comment "primarily individuals with learning
disabilities" :a lot of us without learning disabilities but with visual
disabilities and/or physical disabilities can and
would look at the actual text if large enough and would like to see poetry that
scanned (ie.: confirmed to the rules of verse) properly which is why I am
correcting Kipling's verse so it does just that. I tend to write my email in
one font but shrink it in deference to most of my readers. Frequently I have
to enlarge the mail I receive so that I can read it and would use VRS if I
could get it to work on my computer but for some unknown reason it shuts down
every time I try to use it and neither Dell nor Humanware can figure out why or
repair it.
Amy

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--the , 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
