I can't answer your questions about editing in braille with the Braille
Sense; Dean has already done that very well anyway. But I can tell you that
K1000 is very good at retaining page breaks. I've scanned around 700 books
with it, and I can't recall the last time, or if ever, it didn't keep a page
break.
Assuming Dean is correct, (and that's a very safe assumption), you'll have
to do your formatting in K1000 itself. It's word processor is not quite as
versatile as that of MS Word, but it will do pretty much whatever you need
to do to get a book ready for proofreading; nothing really esoteric is
needed.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] questions about scanning with Kurzweil 1000 and
editing with a braille display
Hello,
I am a long time bookshare member who has recently begun scanning books
again.
I scanned and submitted books several years ago but understand the rules
for formatting have changed.
I scan using Kurzweil 1000 and my primary method of editing scans is my
Braille Sense notetaker. I have the latest model with the most current
update.
I would appreciate tips from other Braille scanners and editrs on scanner
software settings to insure page breaks and other necessary formatting
remain in tact. Braille users: how can you tell if page breaks are present
and is there a way, using a Braille Sense, to insert missing page breaks?
Five books I am currently working on include: the last three books in the
Gods and Kings series "Lynn Austin (the first book is in the collection but
I would love to see this captivating series completed) Almost Heaven by
Kris Fabrye, and In My Seat: a Pilot's story of 9-11.
I look forward to your suggesttions and to contributing to a collection
which has provided many hours of enjoyment for me. enjoy your Labor Day
weekend and happy national literacy month!
