[nabs-l] is anyone else having problems with bookshare an the braillenote?

[Chris Nusbaum]

Kaiti and all,

	Actually, I'm on the beta team for Bookshare, and as of this writing
we (or at least I) haven't gotten any emails from the Bookshare people about
any new beta tests. The last note I got from them was back in December about
some tests on a new Web Reader feature they were trying out. I had already
tested this feature in November, but it seemed as though they had fixed some
bugs we had noticed then and wanted to do another test before public
release. When I wrote the project manager back and asked her what was going
on and when these tests would be done, she said I would hear back from them
when they were ready to do another test. I have not heard back yet. Since I
have a direct line of communication with the Bookshare project manager, I
may write to her about this security alert dialogue problem and see if she
could give us some more information.

Chris

Hi all,

I know recently that Bookshare was having beta testers try a few things out,
but all the testing seemed like it was pc-based as they wanted to know which
web browsers people were using.  Perhaps they have released new code which
the BrailleNote doesn't like.  As far as I understand the tests did not ask
for people to test the site using notetakers, which would have probably been
the smart thing to do.  Of course, hindsight is 20/20.  I would email
support and let them know about this issue so they can fix or adjust the
code to make it accessible.

HTH.
