Hi Scott,
If the pages are dealing with a journal they are probably fonts that
simulate, or pictures of, hand writing. If that is the case you probably
won't have any success in getting an OCR package to deal with them
effectively. Unfortunately, you will probably have to get a sighted
volunteer, or someone, to type them in manually. I guess I would also ask
if they are essential to the plot of the book?

Hey folks,
I'm encountering difficulty scanning part of a book, about six pages
worth. In this particular section, a character is reading entries from a
journal, and they must be in a different color or font size or style
because they aren't clear at all in Openbook.
Now, is there a way I could send these scanned pages to someone so they
might decipher the difficult text? Again, I'm using Openbook which has an
exact view feature, but I don't know whether it would be accessible to
someone who doesn't have Openbook.
Any other ideas on how I can read the text?
Thanks,
Scott
