Hello, all.
I have been trying to decide whether I should use Open Book nine or Docu
Scan Plus to scan in my submissions. I attempted one scan with Docu Scan
plus, but the submission ended up having a bad impression for my first
book. In the past, I used Open Book until the demo expired, but one
great thing I liked about it was that it automatically put in page
breaks for you, whereas Docu Scan Plus didn't. In fact, it put in
unnecessary links and tables where they were not needed. I experimented
with the scanning profile, but all to no avail.
Today, after consulting with a fellow volunteer member off-list, I
consulted Serotek Support to ask them about using their software for
Bookshare submissions. Their response wasn't very encouraging, as they
said it was more for personal storage and accessing documents anywhere,
rather than using it as a way to scan in books.
I must mention that the commission for the blind has purchased a license
for me to use Docu Scan Plus and not Open Book, which I am wondering if
I should reconsider in getting.
Also, is Word Pad a good built-in word-processing programme to put in
page breaks? How does one do this? Can you put in a four-digit hex
character and then press alternate+X to produce a page break?
I'd really appreciate any further tips on how to get started, but for
now I think I'll continue proofing until I get my scanning stuff situated.
Best,
-Al
