As a sighted volunteer, I can tell you that scanning is an art, and it takes a while to perfect. Well, it is never perfect, but to get better and better. Just like proofreading, it is best to start with smaller, easier books that are manageable so that you can learn from the areas you need to improve in. Hang in there, and just keep seeking tips, education, and more than anything, be patient with yourself. Everyone wins in the long run. :-) Take care!

Importance: High I just can't seem to get my books to come out right, I can read them here and they sound fine I look at each page and it all seems to go in order, all I erase are the headers being very careful to not erase any numbers whatsoever but still their are pages missing I can't see the missing pages from here if the attachment can be sent gonna send it to Bob he has all of his books approved because he is a pains takingly wonderful scanner and has been putting out excellent books for years. I hate to give up, it goes against my grain but I can't keep working myself this hard without the book being excepted and right so after some thinking for the next couple of days, and yes for me prayer, you may be less one volunteer because I've been working like crazy and thought I would have a load of stuff to help out you folks, but so far all I've been able to do is make a mess. Thanks.
