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'.

cc[bksvol-discuss] a frequent appearing word
Subject
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
