Here it is Evan:
Levels of Complexity for Scanning or Pr oofr eading a Book
Levels are assigned to all books, to determine their overall difficulty in
proofing. 1 is the easiest type of
book to proof, and 6 is the hardest. The time it takes to proof a book
depends on its level and its length.
Level 1: The book has only text, chapter numbers, and page numbers, in a
standard font.
Level 2: The book has running headers or footers, in a standard font, on at
least half the pages.
Level 3: The book has page numbers or running headers in a non-standard
font, footnotes,
superscripts, captions, charts, or more than a few words in a foreign
language, poems, or pictures.
Level 3.5: The book has pictures that need to be described. This is mostly
used for childrens’
picture books.
Level 4: The book has many words in a foreign language, many pictures, many
charts, or insets.
Level 5: The book has many areas of separate text on each page, formulas,
text that forces scans
with differing brightness (like different colors), or heavily formatted
text.
Level 6: The book has text in a non-standard font (which forces the book to
be retyped), text at a
non-horizontal angle, or massively formatted text.
