Hi any sighted volunteers!

A while back, I hesitated checking out some cookbooks, because I didn't know whether the fractions were checked, which they were, I found out when I emailed Charlene. That's fine, there will be others. When she wrote back, she asked if I knew of anyone who could help. Here is what she would like help with in her own words.

"I started scanning Best of the Best Fast and Fabulous Soups, Salads and
Sandwiches today. The thing is,  in this particular series, the comments are
in some sort of script-like font and don't scan worth a darn and reading
them with the optacon is a pain to say the least. I wish I could find
someone who'd be willing to key in the comments becuase sometimes they're
fun to read and give information about the recipe. Do you know of anyone who
would be willing to help out with that sort of a project? I don't know the
volunteers for bookshare that well to know if there's anyone who would be
willing to do that when I finish the scan. There are I think three or four
books in the series and I think I hvae have one other one already done but
it was just sitting waiting to see what to do about the comments. Sure
enough, when I just checked, I have already got Best of the Best Fast &
Fabulous Party Foods done, just needs the comments to be keyed in."

You can email her directly at:

"Charlene Ota" <caota@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Thanks to anyone who can help. Yes, script is very hard and sometimes impossible to read with an optacon.

Debby
