Hi,
I'm a brand new proofreader for Bookshare. My daughter depends on the service
so I figured I would volunteer.
My first book, Stoner McTavish, is very challenging. I am used to scanned text
so I anticipated some of the errors. But it has so many missing words (and
paragraphs) that I bought the book used because none of my 4 neighboring cities
have it in their library. It's taking me alot longer than the 2 weeks to do
the work because I had to get the copy so I could fix the problems. But I am
determined to get this book into the Bookshare library.
In the future, if a book has significant scanning problems - like entire pages
of text are gobbly-goop - what should I do?
Thanks for your advice,
Corbett
