Hello All:
i downloaded a free-domain magazine from 1932 in ePub format. It came out horrible. Tons of characters and such replacing text, formatting was haywire, etc. I attempted to edit the epub using Sigil. Very time consuming.
I tried a zipped format and when I unzipped it, it created a folder of all jpegs. Each jpeg was one page and the quality, although scanned, had been done with much forethought. All was good, or so I thought. I had attempted to use Pages and load each jpeg on a separate page and then save as an pub. But I have to resize each jpeg and there are 137 of them..
Now, I want to create an ePub as text (html) out of this. Can I take the jpg files from my drive and change them to text in some manner? I don't think the OCR function on our printer works on electronic files, although there are some card slots so maybe it can work. I can with a *lot* of work, create a blank pub and place and resize each and every jpeg into a page, and create hmm files in Sigil for each chapter.
