I suspect that OpenBook 8 may start delivering after the ATIA conference
at the end of January in Orlando:

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?

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.

[bksvol-discuss] Scanning:
I lay the book on the scanner with the back cover facing left and the
front cover facing right. 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?
