I have an idea that a lot depends on the print in the book. And as you know sometimes the errors spell other words, just not the one correct in the context. Does the person doing the scanning really have time to read that carefully? That's why I'm glad we now have the option of having a book put back on step 1 so that we can try to make it as perfect as possible. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mayrie ReNae" <mayrierenae@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi Jill, If the scanner is careful either those errors would show up with a spell checker, or skimming or reading the book would make it as obvious asit is to someone listening or reading in braille. That's just my thinking.Mayrie -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jill O'Connell Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2008 11:48 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question for sighted scanners I am reading a New York Times scanned book and the most common scanning errors are the scanner mistaking a T for an R. How would a sighted scanner even be able to identify this problem since they are not listening to the book or reading it on a braille display? There must be a simple answer to this that just hasn't occurred to me.
