Shelley,  there are many possible causes to the described problem, 
including dust particles on the scanning surface,  or specs of food and 
other matter on the book.  Have you tried speckle removal.  Have you 
optimized recognition,  either manually or automatically?  Have you tried 
400DPI grayscale?

[bksvol-discuss] Kurzweil inserting characters






O.k. I am stumped.  I was editing the Black Stallion Mystery, and this is
the forth book in this series Kurzweil has done this to..n Is it common to
put random characters in the middles of words.  The entire word was still
there, but with the little editions.  Thanks for any comments.  Examples
were faister, oiff, and the like. with random characters added.  Not sure 
if
it is the print, as two were paperbacks and one a hard cover.

Very usual.

I am using Fine Reader and Kurzweil version 8.
