I am using the same version of Open Book that you are. My headers aren't always garbage, but, upon occasion, they are. I have no idea why this is.

Gerald, when I scan, I frequently get clear text but get headers that are mostly garbage. I use Openbook 7 and just assumed that everyone else gets gibberish for headers too. The numeric page numbers are usually legible, but Roman numerals are usually messed up like my headers. Do you have any idea of what I'm doing wrong to get that result? Since the headers are often so messy and aren't uniform, I typically tell Openbook to strip them out and let the Bookshare tool number the pages. I do this because you wrote awhile back that the stripper looks for uniform headers to know when to strip things, so I've been stripping them myself instead.

OpenBook recognizes page numbers just as well as K-1000. That's because
they both use the same OCR packages to do the recognition. What it doesn't
do is allow you to renumber the page numbers it assigns so that it's
numbering agrees with the page numbers in the headers so you can easily
determine if pages are missing.
