Hi, Jackie. I use Kurzweil and always scan two pages at a time, and only one book that I scanned was rejected because of page numbers. This was because I was saving the book in RTF (rich text format) as I scanned instead of saving it in the KES (Kurzweil) format while I scanned and then saving it in RTF just before submission. Otherwise, scanning two pages at a time shouldn't cause rejection issues with page numbers. Maybe the scanning problem was something as simple as what I described. In my case, I rescanned the book in the Kurzweil format and then saved it as an RTF at the very end. Then the book was accepted.

Hello, all:

I don't really know where this should go so if this isn't the right
place, some1 tell me where 2 take it & I will.

I just had a book rejected because page breaks don't correspond
w/printed page numbers.  The manual says there should be a 90%
correspondence.  I have a few concerns about this, which I wish 2
express, & then I'll shut up.

1)  The volunteer was correct, according 2 the manual, 2 reject the
book, so I need 4 her 2 understand my problem is not w/her.  She did
what she was instructed 2 do.
2)  My problem is w/the policy.  Specifically, when a paperback is
small enough 2 scan 2 pages at once, I think it's ridiculous 2 expect
a close page number correspondence.  It will discourage people from
scanning because scanning will take twice as long since each page will
need 2 b scanned individually.  That's not fair, not to the person
submitting the book & not 2 the readers.

I really hope that this policy will be reexamined & some changes made.
The volunteer acknowledges that it was an excellent scan, that all
copyright & publication information was present, & that the only
reason 4 rejection was the issue of page numbers.  Yall, that's not
right.

Again, if this isn't the proper venue, plese accept my apologies &
tell me where to go, as it were.  If it is, then I hope some
productive discussion can be generated & some resolutions obtained.

Thanking every1 in advance for their attention.
