Proofreading

Happy Veterans’ Day!

The volunteering for the Gutenberg Project,--Distributed Proofreader’s is proving to be interesting. It is taken some trouble getting the procedure organized from the Internet. So far, three pages have been proofread. What is involved is proofreading pages from a book that is scanned by optical character recognition--OCR. It is not editing. It is correcting what the OCR is not able to transcribe correctly. Other proofreaders recheck the first corrections. Others will recheck and assemble the pages into a digital book that is available to anyone wishing to read or print the book from the Internet. There are about 19, 000 titles already available.
