In K1000 version 8 I do not find a setting for Greek and Latin. Is this an addition to version 9?

Hello All,

Just a little hint:  When scanning  books/material that you know will
contain some foreign types of characters, I'd recommend that you change your
recognition engine settings.  Instead of just recognizing English, set your
recognition engine to recognize  English, Latin, Greek and French.  The
recognition process will take some time, but your results will be
incredible.

HTH.

Shelley, those pronunciation guides often contain symbols that aren't going
to scan right no matter what you do. For example, I've never seen a schwa
recognized by OCR. These pronunciations could probably be considered
supplementary--they're useful but not absolutely necessary to grasp the
concepts. I would mark it good, then explain about the pronunciation guides
in the long synopsis field. That way anyone who looks at this will realize
that this feature isn't available. At least the dictionary could still be
used to find spellings, not to mention definitions.
