[nabs-l] Reading Through a Textbook

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi Elizabeth,
Is the book you are reading in PDF format? I find that often, with scanned PDF's, there are lots of errors when the Disability Services scan it.
Here are some things you could try:
1. Ibooks. I know that sometimes these books can be expensive, like up to 20 dollars but it is worth a try if Bookshare or NLS don't have them. It makes the book very easy to read.
2. Asking a friend to help you read the parts you need. You can repay them by buying them something like food or coffee or by helping in some other way.
If worse comes to worse and I had no other options, I would just try reading as best I could the PDF.

However, I was rather disappointed that I could not read through it rather easily due to a lot of hyphenated words that sound funky while using a screen reader. So I tried scanning the book on my own and got the same results. Does anyone know of an easy way to correct all the hyphenated words that appear in my textbook without correcting every hyphenated word indivisually? I have a reading assignment that is due on Monday, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
