Ok I'm feeling pressure already, just started the scan last night,
went to bed, sstarted it back up again, ran into some optimization
problems, had to restart my PC for some odd reason, so guess what
folks, can't garantee it will be done in 10 days, unless I skip meals
and no sleep aloud, and GC, I wouldn't be so sure that the captions
would scan correctly with the photos situated wherever they're
situated. So now I have to redo the scan from page one, and the covers
don't scan properly either because of the design work. NOTE TO E.E.:
Is the following optimization great for any book, that is probably 6
inches thick and is paperback?
Thresholding: static, optimized, scanner brightness 69, minimum
brightness 20, maximum brightness 80, resolution 300, speckle removal
disabled optimized, text quality draft quality.matrix, and the
selected recognition engine is fine reader engine 8.0.
What do you suggest? I'm kind of lost.

Just in case I'll be the one describing pictures in "Kind of Blue", I'm
ordering it from the Orlando library so it will be waiting for me when I
arrive in Orlando. The Orlando Public Library delivers books to people's
residences. They prefer it to people checking books out in person in the
library. I don't know, but it is a lovely service.

I think probably Judy or Marilyn or Devorah can do a better job of
describing the photos for you, E. I'm never very pleased with mine;
they're too detailed sometimes, and lately probably too skimpy.
But Chela, are the photos necessary? I'm guessing they're photos of
people, like the Ray Charles book I did, and the captions are probably
all that's necessary.

I will work with Cindy who can get the book and help
describe the photos.
I have done that before with other books.
books over the internet. They will list names of books,
authors
copyright and so on.
Certainly the index can be fixed up. Again, there are
sighted people
on the volunteer list who help us blind validators with
some of the
tricky bits.
