Hi Mayrie, Evan, Roger and Shelley.

Now you know why I proof and don't scan.

Thanks for the responses.

Go for it Milissa.

Hi Bob,

Actually, I've always had stellar results scanning large print.  Sometimes
better than smaller print.  No idea why, but there it is.

Hi Melissa. I think I've seen books that say something about being in large
type in the collection.

But I would think these books would present problems for a scanner. OCR
programs are usually set up for standard size print, not large print.

Just my opinion,

Bob

I double checked the scanning and proofing manual, but didn't see anything
about this in the section on what books are eligible for Bookshare. Can we
submit large print editions?
Thanks,
