Okay, let me explain this in the clearest manner possible.
I am using Kurzweil 1000 version 11 with active speech disabled,
JAWS version 9.
I am attempting to scan an image PDF document.
When I load the PDF, recognition automatically begins (slowing my
computer down.)
I escape recognition and clic on "Optimize Recognition". JAWS
reports that there is a dialog, but when I tab I see nothing.

Well, that's not the way it's supposed to work. Even when I have
no document
open, I get a dialog box when I go to Optimize Scanning. I just
tested it.
If you have PDF images, I believe you should also get a dialog
box when you
go to Optimize recognition. Is the PDF file loaded? If not, then
Optimize
Recognition will not even appear in the menu unless you open
something.
At this point, you may have to consider calling tech support. I
really have
no idea what the problem could be.

Okay, there are two problems.
1. At the moment I am not scanning books; only image files of
PDFS.
2. There is no dialog that shows up when I click on either
optimize
option. I repeat nothing at all happens.

When you open the optimize menu, you have two choices: Scan and
Recognition.
You can only choose Recognition if you are keeping images in your
scans.
Let's ignore that one for the moment. If you go to the
Scan portion of Optimize, you will enter a dialog box that gives
you a
number of things to check. You can check or uncheck whichever
ones you wish.
Some are checked by default, others are unchecked by default.
Once you've
tabbed through to Okay, the optimization will begin. Make sure
not to move
the book until K1000 says, "Optimization complete." Then you can
tab through
the settings and see what has changed. Tab through to Okay
again, or just
hit the Enter key if you don't want to see the settings, and
you'll be done.

I am very confused about optimization. I open a Anddf, stop
recognition
and clic on optimize ... and nothing happens.
Maybe I just need to get used to it; but K1000 really confuses
me.

Two things you can do: You can use the Optimization wizard in the
Scan menu
and wait for K1000 to try and get the best scan it can. Or, you
can go
immediately for grayscale in the Scan portion of the Settings
menu. That
will very often give you a pretty good result. The recognition
may take
longer, substantially longer on an older system, although I don't
think
that's much of an issue these days. But grayscale will give you
good scans
even when other settings will not.

Dear Booksharians,
I just received my copy of Kurzweil 1000 for personal use. I am
wondering
if anybody has general tips on scan/recognition settings to make
the raw
scans come out as good and clean as possible. I am a new user,
so I have
no idea what works and what doesn't. Any assistance is much
appreciated.
