I'm not Monica but I do use Kurzweil. You must have your setting enabled to
scan opposite facing pages. You will find this option under recognition under
settings; you must choose two pages instead of one and this will solve your
page break problem.

Hey Monica:
Yes, this does help a lot. How do you determine wehre to put the
brightness and which threshholding to use and which scanning thing to use?
There are so many settings!!
I had another question though. My scanner dodes this weird thing where if
I scan a book with words on both sides of the page such as a paperback novel,
instead of putting the page breaks where they sould be it says "page 67-68,"
instead of putting the page breaks where they should be. When I had the trail
version of Kurzweil it still did this. I did not know abot the 2 page setting
in Kurzweil and the one book I had scanned that got rejected from Bookshare I
had scanned with Text Cloner Pro. Does Kurzweil still preserve the page breaks
or how does that work? Do I have to have it in the 2 page setting for the page
breaks to show correctly?
Thanks, Kerri

Hi, Kerri. If you scan a book in either FineReader or Kurzweil it will
preserve the page breaks for you. In Kurzweil, it will keep page breaks intact
even if you convert the book to rtf format. That is the format Bookshare
prefers and is what we all convert to for the final validation process. I
cannot speak to the version of FineReader you have since I have only used
versions 7 and 8.
As for optimizing scanning in Kurzweil, I turn to a page that has a lot
of text on it, usually something like 15 pages into the book. I use that page
to optimize the scan. Then I save the optimized settings into a settings file
with the same name as the book I'm going to scan. Sometimes I optimize the
scan with a different page if I'm getting poor quality with other pages in the
book. When I've finished scanning, I save my document and then do a rank
spelling to catch scanner mistakes.
I hope this helps and makes sense. (smile)
