Ahem, unfortunately the recognition confidence index is not a quality
index, but rather a 'self-delusion' index. It only indicates that the
OCR engine did or did not spend a lot of energy recognizing. A better
quality rating is found in the 'ranked spelling' dialogue of K1K.

[bookshare-discuss] You can get Kurzweil to watch!
Kurzweil 8 has a setting that allow you to set a percentage that if the
quallity of a scan falls below the number, you are alerted as you scan.
I find that you can set the system to scan and read and if thge percentage
is set to 98 oir better, the system tells you if you have a relatively
poor quality scan.
This saves time in the long run since you don't have to check scans that
pass the quallity test.
