Hi Rik,
I have found in general that Scansoft cleans up the pictures a little
better. Another thing I have found is the words can often be a part of the
picture so they will get recognized when the picture is scanned.
Now on the other side of things Finereader does keep things in a little
better order than Scansoft does.
I have only worked with Kurzweil so I am not sure which OCR software comes
with Openbook.

Any tips for scanning pages with photo images?
When I scan pages that have photo images, I get lots and lots of H^^ J^^ and
so on like that. The text will be in the middle of sentences and or off to
itself, depending. So that means lots of editing, if indeed I decide it is
worth continuing. I try to scan a lot of CD booklets and things with small
distances between margins, and of course these are problematic, too.
I have been meaning to ask to see if anyone has a particular technique or
setting adjustment that they have used to improve the scanning.
I imagine a certain amount is unavoidable. But whatever there might be to
reduce it, well, I figure it can't hurt to ask, right?
I'm using OpenBook 7.02.
Thanks.
Rik
