Thankfully, the books I've scanned that had chapter titles have tables of
contents. They're usually written in a font that will scan, so I just went
by the numbers and copied and pasted the title. However, I do realize that
they're not all like that. I've just been lucky in my choices, but it does
look like the OCR programs need to work on some of the font sizes and styles
that are sometimes used for titles. Maybe we'd all better write to
Kurzweil, Freedom Scientific, or the companies that design the particular
OCR programs we use and suggest it. After all, that could be of tremendous
help. Even students--maybe especially students--need to be able to read
titles, in order to read assignments.
I do realize this isn't helping you, but I just thought it might be a
thought worth passing along.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question about chapter titles
I have a question regarding chapter titles. I just finished a book in
which some of the chapters had titles that didn't scan because of font.
Well, wouldn't you know it, I'm working on another one of the same type,
where the numbers scanned but junk scanned where there might be titles.
is this really important? My perfectionistic side screams that I need
someone else to help with this book as well, but as long as I have the
numbers, are the chapter titles really that important? I want my books
to reflect the printed copy as much as I can, but two books in a row
with the same problem...?<smile> Thanks for any feedback.
