As a new volunteer, I have a few questions regarding how much is
expected by a person who scans the book vs the proofreader.
Since I am visually impaired, scanning is the easy part,. Proofreading
is much more dificult. I can do it, but its just much more tedious.
1. For example, as a scanner, should I remove all the page headers, or
is this something that is acceptable to pass along to the proofreader?
2. Do I, as the scanner, need to change the chapter title font size?
3. Every so often my OCR randomly breaks a paragraph. Should I take the
time to repair that before submitting the scan?
4. I use Openbook 9 and for some reason it sometimes randomly places a
paragraph, or an entire page, in bold font when I save as RTF. Is that
something I need to correct, or should I just allow the proofreader to
fix that?
5. And lastly, every so often there is a pretty mangled line or two. I
assume I do need to correct those, since the proofreader does not have
the "exact view" image available to them. Is this correct? How does that
work?
I apologize for so many questions, but I want to be as helpful as possible.
