Is there an OpenBook 8? I just checked the Openbook Downloads section of FS's website but could only find updates to get it to 7.02 (with a few build numbers added on that elude me for the moment, but it's the version I already have). Am I looking in the wrong place? ----- Original Message ----- From: Guido Corona To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, January 18, 2008 6:58 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Scanning: OpenBook v6 is very old. Since then there have been significant advances in accuracy of text recognition. You may still be in time to obtain a low cost upgrade to Openbook 8. You may want to contact Freedom Scientific at 800-336-5658. In most cases, current OCR packages have little problems with title pages. Conversely, in olden days title pages were. . . terrible. G.

Maybe it was only those who were most certain they were right who were guaranteed to be wrong.

But every Time I lay a page of the book like that on the scanner especially the title page it comes out jibberish like abunch of letters and a bunch of periods. I use a epson scanner as well. I use use version 6 of openbook. Could that be why the title page comes out unreadable? Is there a version of open book that can recignize text better than version 6.0 of open book?
