I'm trying out Pozotron for the first time. I uploaded my script, tried out the first chapter, then discovered that the uploaded script (which was a PDF) was full of typos and errors - which are not present in the original PDF I've been working from.

Assuming there was an issue with the way it had been OCRd (as I received it), I flattened the PDF (printed to MS Print to PDF, which removes the OCR); then ran OCR in Adobe.

I uploaded this reworked PDF into Pozotron and tried again. It's better - 91 catches instead of 177, but still!! What the heck? Is this normal? Is this how Pozotron normally works? Is there just something seriously wrong with my PDF? If so - what? Visually, it looks fine; I've been reading from it to record without any issues.

Here are just a few examples of what it turned out:

"AJ!.of them empty.

Someone please tell me what I'm missing.

Up until now, I have used a Kindle scribe to prepare my scripts. It’s functional, but not ideal. I now have an iPad and I’m exploring notation apps for iPad. I’ve taken a look at noteful, but I’m not sure if it does everything I want it to. So I have some questions about this app, as well as I’m looking for recommendations for apps that do the things specifically that I’m looking for, as follows.

Look up – I would like the ability to be able to select a word and have it connected to a dictionary such that I can just select it, click on it, and have a definition, and ideally also a pronunciation guide pop-up with it. This is available on the Kindle.

The recording feature – so noteful does have this, but I haven’t determined whether it’s possible to actually connect a specific recording to a phrase in the file. So for example, the ability to select a word or phrase, sort of like highlight it, then hit record so it’s attaching the recording to that word or phrase specifically. I hope that makes sense.

Those are the things I can think of at the moment. I'll edit and add to this post if I think of more.
