Gerald, I'm in the est zone; but I'm usually up till about 4:00 so I might
try again then.
If the system won't accept the book, I'll just let it go back, and somebody
can have the fun of correcting the errors I left. I've read it, so I can do
without it.
Peace,
Ernie

Cindy,
You're forgetting that you're on the west coast. For the east coast people
to get the same performance that you get after midnight, they have to do it
after 3:00 a.m. because when it's midnight EST many of the CST, MST, and PST
members are still on the internet and accessing Bookshare since it's only
9:00 p.m. PST, 10:00 MST, and 11:00 CST. Since many of the kids on the west
coast are still up, the internet is still a bit busy in general at 12:00
a.m. EST. That's why I didn't mention after midnight, because I don't know
which time zone Ernie's in.
HTH
Gerald

Ernie,
Sounds like the problem is the file size, especially if you're not using a cable modem or DSL. There's been problems with uploading very large files, probably because of the time they take to upload. I've gotten the impression that the Bookshare system is timing out somewhere if the upload takes too long. Try zipping it like Jake suggested, and you might try a different time of day if you have been attempting to upload it around the same time since the traffic over the internet is busier at some times during the day than others. If you happen to be using a cable modem, I'd recommend trying it during the day on a weekday since performance goes down when more people use the cable system for accessing the internet, and there will be fewer people on-line when kids are in school and people are at work.
Good luck,
Gerald

Lessee, Gerald.
Internet Explorer, Windows xp Pro, Yeah, I had my spouse check things out, and there's no error message. Jaws just goes to 99 per cent, and hangs there.
As for the synopsis, I'm gonna have to wait for some inspiration, but, I'll muddle through it.
Oh yeah, sorry but I forgot the exact size of the file, but if it helps, the book's 1100 pages long, so rather large. Should I have another go??
Peace,
Ernie

Ernie,
Actually, your message wasn't long enough.
Are you using Internet Explorer or Firefox?
Are you using Windows? If so, which version?
Is the file very large?
How long before JAWS hangs?
Have you tried getting someone sighted to see if there's an error message on the screen when it hangs?
As for the synopsis, I don't understand what you mean by help. Are you asking if you can change it, or are you asking for help writing it?
Gerald

Hi all,
I just finished my first book, but I seem to be having a bit of a problem uploading it.
I am using Jaws 7, and The book is an rtf file. After clicking the "upload" button, and checking everything, I have clicked "Accept." Anyone who uses Jaws knows that it will give you the percentage of the file transfer.
In this situation, Jaws is going to 99 per cent, and stopping. at this point, I am losing speach unless I get out of the application.
When I checked later, the system told me I still had the book and could upload it. What gives?
Sorry to make this so long, but some explanation needed to be given.
One other observation--the synopsis is not correct. Can anybody give me a hand?
Thanks.
Peace,
Ernie
