Hi, Mary. I totally agree with you. I simply meant that it was impossible
for some of us to write descriptions of these things because of no or
limited sighted help, which was what I was commenting on, not the need to
remove the junk or put a comment in the comments field when uploading the
book. I do agree that should be done. Take care.

Hi Julie,
If a blind person scans a book that has things that they can't see which ocr
poorly, they can do a couple things. One: they can put a comment in that
alerts the validator that the book contained such problem items.
Maybe somebody sighted like cindy will come along and take on such books,
because they can fix them up to an extent that those of us who can't see
simply can't do. Secondly, the blind person can clean out the
junk that resulted from the attempted ocr of the graphs etc, so that the
text which is presented is as clean as possible and does not contain a lot
of junk that will seriously detract from others' ability to get value from
the
book.
Mary
