a better scan? · Issue #137 · norvig/paip-lisp · GitHub

I'm thinking about getting or making a better scan.

It feels like the ebook copies I've seen come from an earlier draft than what made it into print, and that the print copy benefited from more proofreading. We've fixed mistakes that were present in ebooks, not artifacts of the ebook to markdown conversion, and not present in the print copy. A better scan could result in better OCR, and fixing a bunch of mistakes. (Though it might not! OCR is hard.)

For scanning:

• I tried the book scanner at Noisebridge, but the book's wide enough that reflections were an issue on the margins
• I'm building the TIFLIC scanner from the DIY Book Scanner forum; it uses a camera to digitize. (I have other things I want to scan anyway.)
• I mail a copy for a destructive scan; 1DollarScan looks decent

For OCR, I have thoughts and notes, but it feels like a different discussion / issue, and I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
