Actually, scanning to image isn't any faster on my computer. Even in two-page mode, my computer is usually done recognizing both pages before the next two pages have been scanned. The one advantage to scanning to image is that if you want to rerecognize pages, you can do so without having to rescan them. Still, I generally don't scan to image. I keep track of my confidence level and if it gets below a certain threshhold, I take a look at the page and see what's wrong.

I've only scanned a few books for Bookshare, and have a couple of questions. A. What are the advantages of scanning to image using Kurzweil rather than scan and recognize? It's faster. B. Is two-page scan as good, or is it more complicated, assuming the margins come out right? It's also faster to scan in two page mode, I reckon. Gave up on k1000 myself. Too many convolutions.
