hey, thanks for digitizing a book!
in this task, you'll ensure that the
paragraphing is correct in the text.
specifically, you go through the book,
page by page, viewing the paragraphs
in the o.c.r., and checking that they all
match the ones in the scan accurately.
since the paragraphs are indented in
the o.c.r. text, just like in the p-book,
you just scan each side of the screen
-- the o.c.r. side and the pagescan --
to make sure the indents are the same.
o.c.r. often runs two paragraphs together,
in which case you will not see an indent
in the o.c.r. which you do see on the scan.
to fix this, you toggle to the edit-screen,
and add a linebreak to the o.c.r. text at
the appropriate place to make a paragraph.
[[note: show an image of this glitch.]]
the other error that happens is when the
o.c.r. incorrectly splits a paragraph in two.
to fix this, you toggle to the edit-screen,
and delete the inappropriate empty line, to
correctly close up the gap in the paragraph.
[[note: show an image of this one too.]]
preprocessing has gotten pretty good
at finding and fixing these errors... so
don't be surprised if you don't spot any
-- because we might've fixed 'em all --
but we still need to have you check, as
a few of these rascals do sneak through.
this is a "book-wide task", so it's best
if you can do the whole book in one pass.
there's 240 pages in this book, meaning
it'll take about 8 minutes for this book.
if you do the whole book, click "finished".
after two people have clicked "finished",
this task is checklisted as "accomplished".
it is perfectly o.k. to do part of the book,
if that's all you have time for, for instance,
or you get interrupted. you still helped out!
(every set of eyes on a page will improve it.)
but please only click "finished" if you do the
entire book in one pass. thanks for helping!
if you click the "finished" button, and later
a paragraphing error in this book is found,
book-dig sends you an f.y.i. notification...
