This is actually why, though when i started my degree I initially scanned a
lot of material, I've pretty much given up now and use my readers' grant to
pay someone to read material for my phd instead, ---- though sinse she also
acts as my research assistant, helping with finding and skimming articals a
scanner wouldn't solve the problem entirely.
Either way, it was the amount of work with scanning only to get something
less than coherent which put me off the practice, these days I'd much rather
have something read in audio by an actual human being, especially if it is a
book, ---- or at the least an accurate text copy if that isn't available.
I did used to also have something of an avertion to reading dramatic text
with a synth voice, which put me off scanning for any sort of access to
novels, though I wouldn't be quite as concerned about that these days given
how much better synths are, though I'd still always take even the worst
human reader over a synth, because of natural voice speed and pausing even
if you discount any dramatic element in the reading, ---- though those areas
are improving.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
