Those indicate that your brightness should be turned down. With K1000, the higher the brightness number, the less light is being used. On the other hand, I have had books where the di/th never went away no matter what I did and the only choice left to me was to make corrections for the corrections file using ranked spelling choice to always make these changes. You probably already know this, but do definitely not include the change of die to the. Depending on the book, you may wind up making many changes back. ----- Original Message ----- From: solsticesinger To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 8:25 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Question about a paperback I'm trying to scan Just a lot of die for the, th's are sometimes turned into M's. I will see an H instead of two L's. Things like that. Are you a fan of women's music?

For the first time since I've had my opticbook 3600, it's giving me trouble with a paperback book. I optimized several times, and these are the settings I got. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest changes that could be made to improve the scan. I'm getting very low competence levels, sometimes 94 and below. Static thresholding is being used. Resolution is 300. Brightness is 42. Speckle removal is disabled. Text quality is draft dot matrix, and recognition engine is finereader 8.1. If anyone has any ideas how to improve this, I would greatly appreciate it. is disabled. Are you a fan of women's music?
