Bud, Make sure you're pressing down on the book to make it flat as possible without damaging the book, and make sure that the book is straight on the scanner. Some books are more forgiving about pressing down and making sure they are straight, and others are not. I think it depends on the font and how much trouble the OCR software has with it. You could also try another OCR package since K-1000 supports more than one. One of the others may be more forgiving about the placement of the book.

I'm using k1000 and windoweyes. Every once in a while while scanning I get a message that the page appears to be blank. I'm scanning two pages at a time. When I go to investigate one pagte is blank and the other one is kind of garbled with text from both pages. Usually all I have to do is to rescan it and it comes out right. So I just delete the two bad pages and go on my merry way. Any thoughts? As I say it only happens occasionally. However in this book it has happened four or five times and I'm only up to page 25. Thanks for any thoughts.
