Hi Steven,
That makes my head swim trying to understand that clearly. I'll play
around with it and see what I come up with. I can also have my wife
look at it to see where the spaces show up, whether in the middle of
a line or at the end.
Thanks.

Hi Bud.
What do you mean by "end of a line"? The lines in the editor window of a Kurzweil 1000 do not correspond to the original lines of the scanned document, unless you set the Line Endings Setting to Respected. Its default value is "Ignored". Another approach is to set the reading unit to "line", and move forward or backward by unit with F8 (forward), F6 (backward), or reread a unit with (F7). The line specified by a reading unit is typically the original line of the scanned document.

When an end of line hyphen was removed, a space was left in its place. This was fixed quite a while ago in a patch.

Unless someone knows of a book with this problem that was not scanned using ScanSoft, then it's possible that it's a bug in that OCR software, or a bug in an earlier version if you happen to have a recent version which doesn't have the problem.
Whether it's related to a specific piece of OCR software or not, it's possible that it's due to the word being split at the end of a line in the printed book and the OCR software not recognizing the hyphen at the end of the first half of the word, so the word doesn't appear to be a word split by the end of a line.

I have the same trouble. Hope somebody comes up with a sollution or at least an explanation. I'll be watching.

I'm validating a book now that has a random space in the middle of words, perhaps four or five times a page. The spell checker will catch most of these, but if the space appears in such a place that the characters before and after the space both form words, I'll never know.
I suspect there's no way around this but reading the book through, which I may not have time to do.
Any idea what causes the OCR to do something like that?
Just curious,
Lora
