Hi Corbett,
As others have already said, if you have the capability, it might be easier and
more time effective to rescan the garbled pages--or even the entire book if, in
your judgment, it is that bad.
And, as others have also already said, welcome to volunteering. I hope that you
find it as rewarding as I do.
Evan

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Bad Scan
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
