Lissi,
I don't understand , why would Romances not be covered? I love romances and
lots of other women do too. If it covers SCI-FI and other fiction books then
why would it not cover romance? If it is the sex in romances they should read
some SCI-FI and mystery books, because sex is in lots of other books too.
I scan Harlequin books and other romance all the time so I can submit them if
there are proofreaders for them. I want to get the rest of Catherine Coulter
books and scan them too.
Why wont Bookshare do a training class for scanners and proofreaders like they
do for Victor Reader and Read Out Loud? The manual does not give much info on
what is the best fonts, how to do the best headers and how the auto computers
work with the scan programs. I want the books I submit to sail through without
problems and would take the time to fix them so they would.
I set my OCR to English UK and it is doing great now and I'm scanning 50 pages
a day. I hope to get faster as I learn. Almost every romances is in UK
English not American.
I have a question. On the book I submitted. Radha Ayalasomayajul Checkout
the book and it says: Active artifact id 421897 (RFT)
Then it say Radha Ayalasomayajula Checkout Active artifact id 421898 (Daisy)
I understand the first Radha Ayalasomayajul is proofing my rft file of the
book. But the second part does it mean she is turning it into a Daisy book so
it can be checked out? Does she work for Bookshare? I'm just trying to
understand the steps from my rft book file to a book that can be checked out at
Bookshare.
