Hi, Shelley. Yes, I know the OCR removes the pictures, and if there is a
caption, I would keep it there, too, and label it, but again, I wasn't
referring to that. I only commented on the one comment that was made about
adding picture descriptions. Take care.

Julie,
The OCR package is designed to remove pictures. What I usually do, is just
label the captions as well captions, and leave it up to the rest. After
all, if we were getting this book read by NLS that is what we would get.
I can't describe pictures too, though it does bug me sometimes, smile, as I
used to be able too.
There are a few books though in the collection that NEED the picture
descriptions, and luckily I had a friend willing to sit and describe with
me. We were two very bored college students in a dorm with no TV or
Internet, or phone, smile. Well I won't say No TV we got NBC, CBS and ABC,
which when the President is having a speech, means we get no choice to
watch him or turn it off. We got a lot of scanning done with my computer.
