Shelly,
I would change the 300 DPI and gray scale to 400 DPI and gray scale. One
other thing I forgot to mention along with the language settings. Instead
of the typical Kurzweil default of recognizing language setting per page,
use per paragraph language recognition setting.

What about "Simple scientific formulas:" I see this one in the list of
recognitions.
Since it is on Grayscale with 300 dpi already it is going to be slow, smile.
Will give it a try Pratik.
As I have another dictionary to do after this to replace the fair one in the
collection.

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.
