HI Jim, I am not sure how to over come this one. Looking back over my scanning career I have found those kinds of issues tend to show up in paper backs and books with thinner pages. I didn't put two and two together until you mentioned this but those books that have been extremely easy to scan with very few errors have been those with thicker pages. I am finishing a book here now called Let the good times roll, which has very thick pages and I have found few errors. I wonder, at times, if the garbled characters aren't coming through from the other side of a page. Hmmmm. The joy of life is living in the question Katie Hill Kaitlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 9:32 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A scanning question. I have a book here and I have tried scanning this thing several times, with all kinds of setting changes etc., and I still get garbled letters. My sighted wife tells me that when she looks at the page, she can see the print on the back side of the page. She can't read it, but apparently it casts shadows or whatever. I'm not sure what to do here. The book is: Puss 'n Cahoots by Rita May Brown, a Mrs. Murphy mystery. Any ideas on how to conquer this kind of problem?
