Hi Robert!!

No, it's the Foreword of the book, not the direction forward.

So would it be forward ... 9? I am trying this in system access instead of jaws just for fun.

Hi Robert!

On this line of the table of contents:

Foreword .................................. 9

OpenBook 7 reads it as:

Foreward, (very quietly reads) 34 periods, 9

So that's not the best, so I can understand why we are talking about using an elipsis.

I have jaws set to ignore periods but the question would be how does it sound in a daisy device or with open book or kurzweil? What ever the decision is I will go with. How about spaces between the names of chapters and page numbers or would that be confusing to a blind person reading with speech?

Then if we are using replace tabs then we do that first and then go back and put in the dots by hand?

If this group is making a decision or referring a suggestion to the VAT, then I agree with three dots.

My vote is that we use three dots.

Chapter 1 ... 1

It's simple, short, and easy to insert. *smile*

From a braille reader's perspective, this doesn't look good, especially
because people use braille displays of different lengths.
Some will have to scroll down one line, or maybe even two, just to get past all those dots. I counted 34 in the first item alone, and 28 in the second
item. That seems like it would be a bit of a pain for braille readers.

I think three dots is plenty.

Hi everyone!

Here is a table of contents with the dot leaders as I found it. I didn't
insert anything.

How does it look for you sighted readers?

How does it come out on a braille display?

How does it sound to those who use screen readers?

Window-Eyes, at least the way I have it set  totally ignores these dot
leaders.  If I add periods like this on a line:

......
 Window-Eyes also ignores them.

Here's the table of contents.

Contents

Hi Judy and Valerie,

        Inserting an elipsis between items in a table of contents and
their
respective page numbers will work.  Any more dots than that would be a
potential nightmare for those reading with speech.  Because in the dot
leader format the screen readers  might well read "dot dot dot dot dot"
etc
depending upon the amount of punctuation each user has spoken. So, if an elipsis would work for sighted readers better than just a space, I'm happy
to begin inserting an elipsis instead.

Thanks, Valerie, for telling us how we can make things at least a little
more usable for some folks.

Mayrie

I agree with Valerie.  It is a torture to figure out tables of contents
visually with just the single space. I'm perfectly happy with an ellipsis
instead of the space, as an idea.  I can't see any way that trying to
figuour out how many periods to put in to make the right margin on each
line, as is done with a printed book, will make sense or be anything but a nightmare to do if you're blind. Having an ellipsis in makes it perfectly
readable for me visually.

Golly, I hope I'm making sense. I had some major dental surgery today and
we
had to use enough anesthesia to bring an elephant down.  So I'm a bit
loopy!
