As I said, I saw a number of large print books before I lost my eyesight and the difference is obvious at a glance. If it wasn't there wouldn't be much point in printing them in the first place. But the difference is not that great. Things like chapter titles and other things that we scan all the time are a lot larger.

Hi Mayrie!!Large print is easier to read with an optacon too, so it makes the eyes, optacon and OCR happy, (smile).Debby At 07:20 PM 11/15/2010, Mayrie ReNae wroteHi Bob, Actually, I've always had stellar results scanning large print. Sometimes better than smaller print. No idea why, but there it is.

I think I've seen books that say something about being in largetype 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.
