Hello this is Chris
Yes k1000 does have an option to make all the words uppercase and also has
one to make all the words lowercase hope that helps

Well, I believe the latest version of K1000 has the feature that allows
you to select text and make it all upper case.

Don't have MS Word. That is the one that comes with Office, right?
Thanks.

Yeah I know, that’s a bummer. That’s why I almost always use the
FineReader engine. If it wasn’t for FineReader’s weird case problems, I’d
never use the ScanSoft engine at all.
The only other solution, as has been said, is to use the FineReader engine
and then bring the book into MS Word and fix up the case issues.

It's just that I have no way of ensuring that what's all in caps gets
translated properly. The Fine Reader Engine takes mixed size uppercase and
makes it cap first letter and the rest lowercase. The other engine does
the caps fine as far as I can tell, but has more other errors. I'm going
to have to do the book twice. I have The Day After Judgment and Black
Easter. This just isn't going to be anything but a slog.

That's a great book. I was going to scan the larger book - "The Devil's
Day" - of which "The Day After Judgement" is a part, except it's already in
the library.
In regard to your question, I have had similar problems with books that
choose to have a lot of text in *italics*. The problem of rendering text
into all caps is comparatively easy if you're working in Microsoft Word -
it's "Format"-"Change Case"-"Upper Case". My personal opinion is to try
and preserve all caps (or italics) in a text, even if it takes a little
more work to make it happen, as some screen/text readers will read all caps
in a different tone than regular text (the Victor Reader Stream, for
example).

I just started work on James Blish's The Day After Judgment. The problem
is the typographical games the author has decided to play. Some text is
all in uppercase. The ocr engine has decided to make it mixed because the
larger capital letters apparently give it fits. I can switch engines and
see what I get, but should I. To me this may be valuable for a reader, but
not a listener, but that reader might not get much value from reading this
in anything but print. I'm left in a quandry.
I would appreciate comments.
Thanks.
