I suspect that OpenBook 8 may start delivering after the ATIA conference 
at the end of January in Orlando:

Is there an OpenBook 8?  I just checked the Openbook Downloads section of 
FS's website but could only find updates to get it to 7.02 (with a few 
build numbers added on that elude me for the moment, but it's the version 
I already have).  Am I looking in the wrong place?

OpenBook v6 is very old.  Since then there have been significant advances 
in accuracy of text recognition.  You may still be in time to obtain a low 
cost upgrade to Openbook 8.  You may want to contact Freedom Scientific at 
800-336-5658. 
In most cases, current OCR packages have little problems with title pages. 
 Conversely, in olden days title pages were. . . terrible.

[bksvol-discuss] Scanning:








I lay the book on the scanner with the back cover facing left and the 
front cover facing right. But every Time I lay a page of the book like 
that on the scanner especially the title page it comes out jibberish like 
abunch of letters and a bunch of periods. I use a epson scanner as well. I 
use use version 6 of openbook. Could that be why the title page comes out 
unreadable? 
Is there a version of open book that can recignize text better than 
version 6.0 of open book?
