Thank you for that explanation. Next time I see that, I will pay special
attention to the words surrounding it, but wouldn't it be better if such
symbols were removed either by the scanner, validator or Bookshare with
whatever it is they do. I am reading another book right now (not validating)
with a rating of excellent. There are very few spelling errors but none of the
headers or footers have been erased and there are two sets of numbers. I am
learning a great deal from this list but end up with a lot of questions. If I
am going to scan or validate, I want the material I submit to be of as good a
quality as possible. I love books too much to see poor quality copies, so I
don't go along with the idea that quantity is better; I feel too sorry for the
mutilated book (that is unless the book was not worth reading in the first
place which is a subjective thing, of course). Jill

There's an odd thing that happens with braille. All punctuation or junk
characters are spelled out so ^ becomes caret and \ becomes backslash. SO \
becomes bar in braille, that's what's happening.

Is the word spelled 'bar' or you just hear bar? You may be encountering the
vertical bar character, which is a junk char, which may be announced as
'bar'.

[bksvol-discuss] a frequent appearing word
I am reading a Bookshare book at the present time (not validating) and I
frequently encounter the word "bar." This never fits into the context so I
assume it is probably a word resulting from the scan. Has anyone else seen this
and do you have any idea what causes it? Jill
