would this tool know the difference between using umlauts or just adding an e? <grin> Rise and Fall adds e-s where there might otherwise have been an umlaut.

Cindy, Actually when submitting a book, the submitter gives it a rating. When the validator uploads the book, that's when the Bookshare utility gives it a rating based, I assume, primarily on spelling and scanning errors. At that time the validator can upgrade the book and I am told they can also downgrade it. What some of us are suggesting is that this same tool be used at the time of submitting the book to help eliminate this subjective evaluation.

I've seen an automatic Adult rating given, and validators have the option of changing it when they upload, but the only quality rating I've seen is the one put there when the book is submitted, and the validator should change it if it is not correct because of foreign names. smile G.Cindy --- Gary Petraccaro <garyp130@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:If i'm understanding you, this might not work. If one uploaded a history with lots of capitalized names, even if correct, how would that be rated? Rise and Fall of the 3rd Reich comes up with 95.94 and 63xx unrecognized names/words. Btw, I reversed the page numbers, it was 1615. <grin> I have no idea.----- Original Message ----- From: "E." <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2007 7:31 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Using Our Validation Resources Wisely >I just rejected a history book submitted in kes.
