I have just started to play around createing epubs, so I am sure there are much better ways to do things than what I currently do.
What I do is this:
- Export cover from pdf to a single file
- Open and ocr pdf in Finereader 11
- "Verification" through the whole book to fix ocr errors
- Adjust area for figures/graphs/illustrations
- Save as html
- Open html in Sigil
- (Here you can spend as much time as you like formatting, fixing typos, etc.)
- Create Chapters (separate files), creating toc
- Import cover from the cover-file
- Add metadata (author, title, published date, etc.)
- Save as epub
- Import in Calibre
- Send to device
- Read the book, either fix errors directly in Sigil or highlight in the book and fix later
- Be happy :-)
I would be interested to hear from all of you using Word/OO between Finereader and Sigil, what do you do that is not easily done in Sigil?
