Original final-edited text or WORD file:
- Print version: This is the second best option, as the book will already have been edited and proofed, and its text file is ready to be placed into a design programme. Cyberscribe simply takes the text file, checks it, formats it into a new book design.
- E-book version: as above, except that we format the text into the “e-pub” format to facilitate its conversion into the various e-reader formats and uploading to Amazon in their “Kindle” format.
Hard copy of book to be scanned and converted:
- When scanning a book for the extraction of text to use in another format, the text pulled from the scan may not always be accurately captured, so in addition to the scanning process, it will always require proofing and/or editing.
- Even new, clean books always require re-formatting and post-scan proofing to fit the book’s new trim. But if the book is mottled or has tiny print, it will require extra, work in order to render the text useable for a new, professional publication. Cost estimates will always be provided in the event that extra work is needed.
- Interior illustrations can generally not be used from a standard book scan. We require the original, high resolution prints or .jpg files in order to reconfigure them in the book.
