Hi Laura Ann, I have found with larger books and Kurzweil that after working in the program for a while, in your case scanning a large book, it's good to close out the program and reopen it. It seems to flush out anything stored in the ram memory. Depending on the amount of memory you have in your computer Kurzweil does use and transfer a lot of data in the process of scanning and recognizing.

I have an old version of openbook but only use it to validate books submitted in that format. I love kurzweil. I did have it crash yesterday though after scanning in an almost 500 page book. I lost the book and was very frustrated. I scan image files only then let it recognize. I don't have any idea why it decided to crash and then corrupt the file. Thanks for the welcome.

What software do you use to scan with, what ever it is, we all can handle it but I think most of us use kurzweil.

Bookshare is a great concept that has done so very well because of all the wonderful volunteers out there. I also love reading, and a good friend has told me that I've probably downloaded more books than I'll ever read in my lifetime. He's certainly right, but this way I know I'll have them in case I want to read them. I'd love to talk with you about essential oils and things. At one point, I was considering making perfumes and such, and may yet one day. Have a great day.

I was in massage therapy school here in Texas the beginning of this year so couldn't handle the volume of email until now. I am a professional pet sitter in College Station Texas in business with my mom. We love it and I am working to get my human massage certification License for Texas....I then plan to take a course in canine massage. I love reading and really enjoy all the books I have downloaded from bookshare. I look forward to getting to know you guys.
