Hi Lissi,
If you have questions about The Orphan Game, just email me directly (so we
don't clog up the discussion group) at ckarnos@xxxxxxxxxx The book is in the
office, so I can pick it up next week and check it for accuracy.
I'm glad I helped make Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince available for so
many people so quickly after it was released. Harry does live in a fairly
tough world (but then so do lots of us). I'm anxiously waiting for the next
movie to be released in November. I'll try to watch it the day that it debuts
in theaters.

Dear Carrie,
I'm the one at the beginning of the volunteer and computer learning curve. I
just wanted to tell you that I'm practicing on one of your books, The Orphan
Game. If I haven't made significant progress in a week, I'll replace your scan.
If I don't make good progress it won't be because I'm not working feverishly
and enthusiastically.
I'm afraid I'll have many questions on this first attempt, but I'll record
every answer to any of my questions so I won't ask them more than once.
I remember you helped prepare Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince for quick
availability. I was thrilled, though the book broke my heart and I think
Rowling is actually fairly cold and cruel with her characters. Harry's world is
a tough one.
I was very excited that day and knew how lucky I was to be reading a book along
with sighted readers who could buy and read the print copy as soon as it was
released. I'm not that anxious to read everything on it's first day in the
bookstores, but Harry Potter is a special case. you helped make that day a
splendid one.
Always With Love,
Lissi

Hi Kaitlyn,
I'm sorry, I don't remember what the Bookshare scanner is. I do know that it
will scan a 250-page book in about 2 minutes, assuming there are no
double-feeds or jams. When I go into the office next week, I'll write down the
make and model, or I'll forget it immediately. Sigh!

Hi Kaitlyn,
Actually it's the scanner and also the OCR program. We have version 5.0 and
version 7.0 of ABBYY FineReader at the office. 7.0 is SO much better than
5.0, it's amazing. The books I submit would be much worse if I used 5.0
instead of 7.0. But of course the scanner has to do a good job initially or
it's useless using any OCR program.

Hi,
I know I have done a couple of Carrie's scans and she does a first
rate
job:) It kind of gets back to the quality of the scanner it seems. I
know
the one I have should last me a good while but I think my next one
will be
up in the commercial level. OH, along with a commercial level
scanning
package like K1000:) Can't wait until I get version 10!
Kaitlyn :)

Recently, I've had a whole string of books to validate where the
submitter
did a good job with the scan, so they were way easy! It was such a
pleasure. And I did about 5 books in a couple weeks, which was also
really
nice. I know 2 were submitted by Carrie Karnos, and 1 by Natalie
Barrett.
Sorry, I forgot the others. Anyway, thanks to every submitter who
makes my
life easy!
Tracy
