Hi Mayrie!!

Large print is easier to read with an optacon too, so it makes the eyes, optacon and OCR happy, (smile).

Hi Bob,

Actually, I've always had stellar results scanning large print.  Sometimes
better than smaller print.  No idea why, but there it is.

Hi Melissa. I think I've seen books that say something about being in large
type in the collection.

But I would think these books would present problems for a scanner. OCR
programs are usually set up for standard size print, not large print.

Just my opinion,

Bob
