Hi Roger,
If, for example, NLS has a copy of a book recorded, or someone has purchased
an audiobook from audible.com, but they were proofreading that same book to
add to the Bookshare collection, they could listen to the mp3 to hear what
missing words in a scan should be.
It'd be, in my opinion, very tedious to find particular text in an audiobook
to compare, but sometimes, you've gotta do what you gotta do to get the job
done.
It's the audible option for a blind person, where a sighted proofreader
could checkout a copy of a print book from their library to compare the
scanned text and fix scanning errors.
Does that help, or did I just totally muddy the waters?
Mayrie

What does not make sense to me, though, is the comment about using the
MP3 books to proofread. I don't understand that.
