Hi, Jill,
If you prefer reading the book in braille, you can mark the errors you
find, and use that as a guide to edit the Daisy file, per Guido's suggestions.
Use a mark, such as double asterisks, or the at sign--something that is
unlikely to already be in the Brf file. You can then use the find feature in
something like Word, to locate the passages that need fixing.
One problem with Fair books is that they are sometimes so messed up that
you can't tell what's supposed to be there. You might save a lot of time by
simply rescanning the book, if you can find a copy.
Best wishes,
Paula Muysenberg

You probably should consider editing the Daisy file. Convert to RTF,
edit/improve it and submit as RTF.

Subject [bksvol-discuss] reading a book rated fair
There is a book on the list rated fair that I want to read, so I have decided
to try to edit it while reading in the hope of submitting a better copy. I want
to use my BrailleNote and would very much appreciate it if someone who has done
this with the BrailleNote could give me specific directions. Since I will be
working with it as a BRF file, what do I do when it is time to send it back to
Bookshare? TIA. Jill
