Based on what I have seen of large print editions before I became unable to see them I don't think the print is all that large. If the OCR will handle chapter headings it should be able to handle a large print book just fine.

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

I double checked the scanning and proofing manual, but didn't see anything about this in the section on what books are eligible for Bookshare. Can we submit large print editions?
Thanks,
