It's amazing how sometimes rescanning a page can have different results even without changing the settings. *grin* Grace ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Petraccaro To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 10:53 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Another question about K's ranked spelling Not necessarily. Sometimes these problems are the result of poor scanner settings. Sometimes, though, the paper quality is such that there will be problems either because of ink splotches or varying darkness of the ink from page to page. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cindy To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 5:34 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Another question about K's ranked spelling Julie, Thanks for your answers. That explains why a book can be rated 99.7, excellent, and yet when people read it they can have difficulties--spaces dividing words that should not be divided, missing pages, scannos that are not mis-spelled words but are the wrong word for the context (e.g., correct instead of connect). And that's why my personal opinion is that books should perhaps be released before being rejected -- and why,if the person is here on the list, he/she should say why he/she released it, as Cheryl did with the reason she rejected it. If the scan is good otherwise, i.e., the text that is there is good without a lot of mis-spellings, that someone who'd like to read it, sighted or not, could find those errors and fix them easily and quickly. Rescanning even with K1000 would put back up the same problems, I would think. JMO Cindy --- Julie Morales <mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, Cindy.
