I understand you aren't scanning a document. So, you are saying that the optimize scanning dialog opens when you don't have a document open? If this is the case, then I'm guessing things are not as I first supposed, that it wasn't properly installed. I haven't done a lot of recognition of pdfs, but I'm thinking that you probably can't optimize recognition until the document is fully loaded and has been recognized. Then, you can run the optimize recognition, and see what you get better results with. The only options in the optimize recognition dialog are text quality and recognition engine. Both of these can also be adjusted within the settings menu under recognition.

If you go to the Scan portion of Optimize, you will enter a dialog box that givesyou anumber of things to check. You can check or uncheck whicheverones you wish.Some are checked by default, others are unchecked by default.Once you'vetabbed through to Okay, the optimization will begin. Make surenot to movethe book until K1000 says, "Optimization complete." Then you cantab throughthe settings and see what has changed. Tab through to Okayagain, or justhit the Enter key if you don't want to see the settings, andyou'll be done.HTHEvan----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelby Carlson" <kelbycarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxx To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 10:37 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] e: Re: OT: Kurzweil and Google BooksI am very confused about optimization.

Or, youcan goimmediately for grayscale in the Scan portion of the Settingsmenu. Thatwill very often give you a pretty good result. The recognitionmay takelonger, substantially longer on an older system, although Idon'tthinkthat's much of an issue these days. But grayscale will give yougood scanseven when other settings will not.Evan----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelby Carlson" <kelbycarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxx To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 9:17 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: Kurzweil and Google BooksDear Booksharians,I just received my copy of Kurzweil 1000 for personal use.
