Jamie,
The only problem with submitting a book in kes is that it has to be validated
by someone with kes which means it may be on Step 1 for a long time as more
validators can work with an rtf file than those who have Kurzweil. Even
Kurzweil users can work on rtf files though it is not, as they will tell you,
primarily a word processing program and relies on other such programs - so they
say but when I am scanning in Kurzweil I have not problem correcting the scans
without converting them to rtf or anything else. It is just with rtf files
which I cannot always correct in Kurzweil. I can insert page divisions in the
scanning mode better than in the plain rtf file and my word perfect program
cannot insert blank pages and cannot multiply arbitrarily with kes files even
rtf files in kes. Sounds weird but whatever works.

That's what I thought, too, Mayrie, that the upload from the validator had to
be in RTF, which was why I asked the question about KES having to be converted
to RTF either after scanning or after validating. But Amy says Bookshare
converts KES to html so I don't know. I was just thinking that it would be
better to convert to RTF after scanning so that anything that went wrong with
it could be fixed before the validator uploaded it. After that there isn't
anything anybody can do about problems except rescan the book.
