That is a bit of an exaggeration, but there are many, many texts in the post-processing stage at DP. Rescanning the book would only make it worse. Mostly we need people who are willing to work on post-processing texts. Long-term, we are actively working on new ways to handle much of the post-processing work. Currently, it is all done by one person. If things work the way we hope, much of the post-processing work will become distributed, too. Josh N Wolcott wrote:
Does DP have a post-processing crisis? With thousands of volunteers texts flow regularly through the OCR and first phase quickly. However there are several thousand books that have been in post processing over a year. Many of these are hard, but many are plain text.
Is it appropriate to re-scan a book to start the process over again hoping for better luck? One could clear another edition, etc.
