I downloaded the book heart Of The Comet and loaded it on Victor Soft
(Bookshare Edition).
Listened to page 25 using Microsoft Mary. I could not descern any unusual
characters from the audio output. I am also running JFW 5.0 and my
platform is XP.
As I scanned this book at least 4 years ago, I will scan it again next
week and will submit the new version to Bookshare.

I am probably the original submitter of the book, which was recognized
several years ago using RTK. I will now have a look at the copy on
Bookshare. If I find obvious problems, I will rescan it. I should be
able to provide a better quality copy without major problems.

[bookshare-discuss] garbage
I've downloaded and am trying to read "Heart of the Comet" by David
Brin
and Gregory Benford. but every blank line has something like ATAXS0 and
its
driving me crazy. I've loaded the .xml file into Word and notepad hoping
to
replace the garbage with a blank space but neither program can find the
text
in a search. I'm reading with the Victor Reader and assume this is how
the
reading program interprets the end of the line character in some files. Is
there any way to get rid of this junk? This is one of four books I just
downloaded that has the same garbage. All were SF/Fantasy and I'm
guessing
were submitted by the same person. Maybe if we knew what program was used
to scan the books the problem could be corrected.
