That reminds me of an issue that I am facing right now that is similar. I am currently slowly scanning a book in which the chapters are designated by a very large graphic number. These numbers are not scanning at all except, sometimes, as a few junk characters and most often not even as junk characters. I cannot even tell where one chapter ends and another one begins except for the fact that sometimes the last page of the preceding chapter is shorter than most pages and sometimes I can surmise that a chapter has ended when the scene abruptly changes. What I plan to do is, when I finish the book, get some sighted help to go through the book and find the pages on which each chapter begins and insert CHAPTER 1, CHAPTER 2 and so forth. Is this the correct thing to do?

I'm reading a book, which, while already in the collection, I'm
curious about. It has chapters, but has no chapter headings, no
chapter numbers, nothing to designate it's a new chapter except a big
white space. As I'm reading it I'm thinking if I were to scan this
(which I don't have to because it's already in the collection) what
would I do? How would I let the braille or daisy reader know it's a
new chapter? Big white spaces wouldn't translate in braille or in
daisy audio. I don't know about visual daisy but it sure wouldn't work
for the other two versions.
