Perhaps the new BP will be able to do that. Pamela has answered you, though. Aren't you kicking a dead horse by continuing to ask this question?

Hi,I can see why aph would want to use their translator, but it would be nice to have an option in the bp firmware to skip the page number. I don't know how possible that is, but if nfb trans can remove the page numbers, why can't bp itself just skip over them? it could be an option like header avoidance in k1000. That doesn't remove the header, just skips over it during the reading process.Shawn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Wunder" <gwunder@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 2:21 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: braille filter and send to bpHi. I have no ax to grind about the translator we now have in the BP, but NFB released to public domain the NFBTRANS software a long time ago and to my knowledge we do not charge anything to KESI who use it in the K1000. Therefore, were someone to use it, the issue of someone having to pay us for it would not apply.----- Original Message ----- From: "Walt Smith" <walt@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 6:26 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: braille filter and send to bpShawn. I don't want to have to pay licensing fees to NFB when I pay for a Book Port and while it's all well and good to claim that the program is public domain, I have zero confidence that if APH were to suddenly take an interest in it that there wouldn't be demands for a licensing fee made immediately if not sooner. No product vendor would be demonstrating the slightest bit of intelligence or responsibility if, in this context, they ignored a product that they own, control, and support in favor of one with which they have no connection whatever. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawn Thiel" <shawn.thiel@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 4:59 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: braille filter and send to bp Hmm, perhaps then a feature could be implemented in firmware that would allow them to be skipped if desired, similar to Kurzweil's header avoidance? In some books, particularly one I found with complied personal adds, it was frustrating to have numbers interspersed that made no logical sense. I suppose I could use my copy of nfb trans to back translate, but that's an additional step of creating text. Sorry if i seem to be presssing the issue, but I don't think i am the only person who finds them distracting. What about the other translation issues i mentioned with regard to computer braille? It makes accessing resources in magazines difficult when urls are improperly back translated. Shawn-- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
