Lana, You said the BRF read fine.  Did you mean when you saved it as txt 
first it read fine?  I have a translating program so could do that.
Thanks,
Sue S.

I reported a similar problem last Wendesday night.  I downloaded a book on 
to my Voice Sense; then transferred it to Stream.  A lot of the words were 
shordened and shuffeled together.  Strangely enough. the .brf read fine on 
my VS. Just for fun, I saved it as .txt, and it read on the Stream fine.
Are you downloading it on to a regular PC or a note taker?  Do you transfer 
it to anything.
Whatever you're doing, you might try saving as .txt first.  I know that 
would be frustrating if you are using a braille display, but it might work.
