Hi, Donna. I agree, and really, when there is missing text, rescanning the book
is probably the only way you can really do it, at least if there is a lot of
missing text. Sure, if there's just a word here or there, you might just be
able to fill those in with a print copy if you feel so inclined to take the
time to do that, but in some of the ones I've read, a rescan would definitely
be better...and really, I've read a lot of Bookshare books, but I really have
had only a handful that I didn't even finish because of the quality. Most of
them I do get through and they're quite enjoyable, so I'm not meaning to be
negative, either, as Jill said regarding her own message. Take care.

I appreciate all efforts to improve fair books up to excellent quality, but I
think that rescanning them is probably a quicker way to go which would free up
validators for adding those touches to really good scans that make the finished
book great. If we have an on-going list of fair-rated books with some way to
track who's working on improving what, I'll be glad to pick from that list
periodically to help with the process.
Peace and Hope,
Donna
