Hey, Thanks:) I hadn't thought of that. But the question is, How do you
detect font size in K1000. Now that I think about it I've never done it.

Katie,
Yes, the capitalized line is normally larger. Because of this, the line
typically contains fewer words, so some publishers allow the last word to be
split using hyphenation and carried over into the regular text. Didn't
think to tmention that. You'll also want to make sure the font size is
consistent when you fix the split word.

Gerald,
I wonder if this is more of a larger font issue and the ocr software. Maybe
one of the sighted volunteers can comment on this.

The only thing I do which I haven't heard anyone mention is to fix the
hyphenated word at the end of the all caps. Some of the books have a
tendency to allow the last word to be split at the end of the line of all
caps using hyphenation and carried over into the regular caps. I always put
the word back together by moving the end of the word up to the line of all
caps, then change the rest of the word to all caps so that the case is
consistent. That to me seems to be the best compromise for preserving the
way the book is formatted while still fixing the split words so that the
book reads better for speech.

Hi,
I leave the caps the way they are also except I take out the
spaces between letters which so often appear so it reads
better. Hope that's ok.
