You can try scanning with Scansoft Accurate and grayscale 300 dpi, this sometimes doesn't work though and I have then sent them to Bookshare as I can't do them. Kerry did this awesome cook book about chocolate for me that way and there is no way I could do it, smile. Shame about the company especially when you contributed recipes. Shelley L. Rhodes B.S.

My employer put together a cookbook for charity. I have tried scanning it, but can't read it at all! Could anyone share some tips or would anyone be able to do a better scan and it could be put on Bookshare? I'm going to try some transcribers to see how much that would cost as well. I contributed some recipes and so am disappointed that I'm not able to read it. Contacted the company to see if they just had the straight version without pics, etc. But to no avail. I even offered to send them the receipt where I paid for my copy. Thanks for any suggestions or assistance. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
