Pre-processing is the process of preparing a book (which becomes known as a "project") for proofreading here at DP. Steps include scanning the book (or "book-like thing"), running the OCR software (which generally includes some spellchecking function), and uploading the files to the DP servers using Remote File Manager. These tasks are performed by a person known as the Content Provider (CP), who may also serve as the Project Manager (PM).
