Shawn. 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.

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.
