Oh, crap, get real. I never said I wanted to get rid of page numbers. I only stated that I didn't like to hear them if I'm reading with continuous speech. It's just one of those things I would cut off like punctuation if I didn't need it. It's not something I would write to Humanware about and ask them to take off. I only wrote my message to state that I understood what Sherry meant. Monica Lofton professional Email:

If sighted people starts to complain about page numbers reflected on each page, people will just laugh at them. Speech takes less than half a second to say the number and with Braille one can even pass it over in less time. Besides, in non-fiction material it may be very necessary to have page numbers displayed and it would be a much more valid complaint if they're not there. Also, if one listens to a book which was converted to a txt file with a screen reader on the pc, page numbers are also usually included, as it then forms part of the text. If one has the time and really feels that strong about it, you can edit it out, using the find and replace all command, running the risk of losing other numbers written in the same fassion as well. You'll have to go through the process nine times, searching for all the digits and replacing them with nothing, or something like a space, which will not be spoken.

Especially if you are reading a nonfiction book that might have a lot of numbers in it as I was this weekend. I got lost several times in whether or not this was a print page, a braille page or a number of something in the book. and when I read hard copy braille, I don't look at the page number when I read. it's just a personal thing, I guess. It has always bothered me to have to hear page numbers read, when I'm trying to read for pleasure and lose myself in a story. It breaks up my concentration. sherry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Terri Pannett Sent: Monday, May 30, 2005 10:37 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] book reader and page numbers I can't understand why page numbers are such an annoyance. Every book, whether it's braille or print, has page numbers in it. When I read LOTR using speech, I first edited the print page numbers so they would sound right. But I would never take page numbers out of a book. The reason why I don't put page numbers in my Bibles is because I often redo the files when I find an error.
