Hi Corbett!
Welcome to volunteering. I also decided it was better to start from
scratch and scan a book rather than trying to fix lots of scanos a garbled
page or two and missing pages. What you and I are doing is more expedient..

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
