Dear Uma,
for your first question, if the original text is moderately good, it is
almost certain that we get good recognition and most of the time, you need
not to edit it before reading. please send me a copy of a book you have
scanned off the list along with the following information and I try to give
you suggestion for improving the scanning quality.
1. which software you use to scan and convert the pages?
2. which scanner you use?
3. what is the hardware configuration of your computer and operating system?
(some times, OCRs require much resources)
4. what are the settings you had for scanning and recognition such as
resolution, brightness, image quality, OCR program, etc.
for your 2nd question, I can answer only after seeing the problems in your
scanned books and also your present way of proof reading. in the mean while,
since you are partially blind as suggested by your mail, you can increase
the level of magnification, invert colour for better contrast and less
effect to eyes etc.
for your 3rd question, Akhilesh has given the best answer. I often resort to
internet for any acts and rules if and when I need them. apart from the
sites he has said, many of the departments and ministries publish the legal
texts related to them on their web sites. it is appreciable that we are
fastly moving towards e-governance. in Karnataka, the government also has
brought out a CD containing most of the acts and rules of the state
government. may I know in which state are you working?
Umesha

Hi Uma,
I don't remember the mail written by Rajesh sir. But yeah one thing
for sure that it is a very demanding profession and one can not
succeed here unless he or she has sheer determination to crush the
defeats, to overpower the fear of failure, and most importantly
cutting the all routes of retreat!!!
Coming to the point: All bare acts are available online,
Indiankanoon.org is absolutely free for case laws, daily orders and
cases can be found in each and every high court site, Supreme Court
site is also free, judis.nic.in is totally free as well.
Use the fine reader for scanning. Search on the internet. To me,
internet has benefited all Visually-challenged, but
visually-challenged lawyers have got benefited the most!!!!
Wishing you a grate success, challenging and enjoying career!!!
Happy lawyering!!!
Thanks

Hi uma ,
regarding your first question I can satisfy it very nicely . 1st of
all I want to ask you which scanning software and scanner are you
using? I use openbook 9 with hp all in one scanner it gives me allmost
95% accuracy . I scann all most 70 pages per hour of a theory book .
now a days scanning is not so difficult . you just need to adjust the
right resolution and a few other settings . being a partially sighted
student I used to study by magnifiers giving a lot of strain to my
eyes . but from this semester I have started scanning by my self . so
I have not faced any big problem in accuracy level . you can straight
away contact me of the list . will be happy to assist you or any buddy
elce . who want any help in this matter .
regards

Hi Uma,
well, there might be a few books available in electronic format. And
publishers like Pearson are considering selling books in e format.
And subscribing to book share may help to some extent. Inclusive
planet will also do its bit.
But this still remains a major issue of concern for visually
challenged people, especially in areas like law where reading material
is voluminous. Once Rajesh sir has written a very good mail clearly
explaining the challenges faced in the profession of law. I remember
forwarding the same mail to you. Go through it again.

good evening friends,
I hope any of you can give me suggestions.
I have completed LL.B with utmost difficulty. now, my problem is with
regard to scanning all the law books. I am doing the scanning work on
my own. but, while coming to point of editing, I am having many
problems. there I need the help of the sighted. I found that there are
many errors in the text which I have scanned. it is very difficult for
me to do editing work on my own. but any way I am doing it.
now, my querry is how a VI advocate is able to scan and read all the
books. the reason why I ask this question is when someone asks us
about any section, we have to refer to the particular book. i think
it is not possible for us to scan and keep with us all the books. if
at all we have scanned books with us, we have to do proof reading. it
is very difficult to do proof reading rather than doing scanning. I am
taking 45 minutes to edit one page and that too with great difficulty
by staining my eyes.
so, friends, please give me suggestions for the following
1. is there any way to get error free text after scanning and
converting it into text.
2. is there any efficient way of proof reading?
3. is there any other way to get books other than scanning?
I dont know Brail. so, please give suggestions other than getting
books in brail format.
thank you in advance
there is nothing impossible except the word impossible.
