It is kind of slow but have in the past. When I put it on 400, it said scanning failed so the optic book didn't like it, any other ideas?

Do you use greyscale?
I use 400 dpi with greyscale for the most part. I do play with brightness.

I think it is 300 where Kurzweil sets it.

Grace I let Kurzweil do it's paces first and it seems if I change one setting to get the page and chapter numbers, it messes it up for the text and get the common scanning errors.

Hi:

It sounds like you're using K1000? If so I always use fine Reader. Occasionally I use Scansoft to scan back cover material. I don't know if this has been fixed but I had noticed that Scansoft got rid of m-dashes and so I don't use it. I haven't had a problem with Fine reader not scanning page numbers. I play around with setting before starting a scanning project.

I have noticed that with fine reader it doesn't get the chapter numbers or page numbers but the text is fine but with scan soft it gets everything. Just currious on which one to use. I have to go to fine reader sometimes at the end of a chapter to get it right, scan soft puts the words there and the ones it can't figure out puts them at the bottom, has anyone seen this? I do fiction so know about booksshare's policy reguarding page numbers but if they apear I want to keep them hence using scan soft does the job.
