Dear Valerie and Booksharian friends,
This is purely my opinion, but I understand Books better when tables are
described and are in text format. I read in braille and get bogged down in
table format and can't follow it. And, if the information in the columns is
different line lengths as in some being one line, some two or three etc or
some skipped, then the information gets off and doesn't seem to read
straight across columns.
When I can, I avoid proofing books with tables. When I get them, I describe
the table, time consuming but a technique I know will be easy to follow for
braille readers. Your perspective is more visual.
The goal is to present content so visual, auditory and braille readers have
optimum access. Pretty tricky for us volunteers of all ilks!
And, thanks to Evan and not giving up, I am receiving all of my e-mail and
can send, too, for the first time in months! It's not sorted, but it's all
there. I'm behind 1500 messages and there's all sorts of wonderful proofing
to catch up on. It's so liberating not to be hobbled by my computer!!
Always with love,
Lissi

It might have been the scanner's software, but these tables were not
preserved.

I thought Jake said Bookshare tools handled tables just fine?
