Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
I used to have that problem more often with Bookshare, but most of the books I've gotten from them within the past 5 years or so have been good quality. These are, in the vast majority of cases, fiction books, mind you, so I'm not
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
I've had problems like that with bookshare before too. For instance, Roberts Rules of Order (a good book, IMO) looks absolutely loathsome compared to the actual thing. I use Bookshare for fiction-based books, which I can read very qu
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
LOL. Most of the books I got from BookShare did not have that problem, but I came across enough to know that it can happen, more than I wish it would. You pretty much have to do an advance search and tell BookShare to leave out the poor ones
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
One of the reasons I prefer BARD to Book Share is that Book Share seems to accept anything. I once got a book from them that was so poorly done that at every page change, you lost several lines of the text to the OCR getting all screwed up on
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
The braille that they have for download is in BRF. As far as I can tell, they take care to make sure that the translation and layout is right. BookShare on the other hand has more books in BRF, but the files are a bit more prone to errors of
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
Ah! That makes sense, though doesn't BARD also have books in Braille? Or are they not in BRF format?I've only been blind for the last five years, and with all this technology I don't see Braille as a necessity. Now if I had lo
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
I guess that one of the reasons why I received the message might have been due to the fact I signed up to a bard mailing list while back. If I remember right, the mailing list became an announcement only list. For BRF, I use BookShare and for
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
Well, the reason I prefer Bookshare is because I prefer to read my books in Braille. They usually are my go to if I need a book in brf format. While BARD sometimes has things that Bookshare doesn't, I've found the reverse to be tr
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
Actually, the only security measure I've seen BARD use, besides enforcing fairly strong passwords is to force you to change your password, but I've seen them do that only once in the almost five years I've been using tham.And
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
I haven't received anything, either, although I rarely use Bard these days. Still, I like knowing that it's there on the rare occasions I do need it, since I prefer Bookshare most of the time. This is kind of a dumb move in my o
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
I have received no notices from them and the information they have on me is current.I suspect that some old unused accounts got hacked or something so they feel they are closing a possible security issue by doing this.Back when I was a forum
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
I can't think of how this would help them honestly. Like, what does this suspended status do for them, stop emails? Well, I wouldn't know about that since the email associated with my NLS account is like way out of date and not avail
Re: NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security?
I didn't get this... yep, a sweep of my inbox reveals nothing from them.
