Objectivism Research CD, How was it produced? Options

[R Wray]

There is an advertisement in the Forum Capitalism Corner Marketplace for the Objectivism Research CD-ROM. I am not that computer/scanner literate, but it seems to me that this CD is an amazing piece of technology. I have found it very reliable and user friendly.

I am very interested to know the basics of how the CD was produced. Were the source materials in bound form? If so, how were the pages turned for the scanner? I assume the images are converted to digital character data. What is the error rate; does each line have to proofed by a human being? (In using the CD for two years or more, I think I found only two small typos that might have been caused by flyspecks.)

I’m wondering how long the whole process took.

(I understand that complete libraries are/will be digitized for the Internet. Is this by the same process?)
