I'd be willing to find some one to validate the fractions on the Weight Watcher's books, even if I had to hire a reader to do it. Sharon who right now has a lot of projects on her hands mostly to do with Aspergers.

I'm glad I could give you some encouragement with your cookbooks. If you have Kurzweil, you might want to use the optimize scan feature on a page with text, and you may want to use the Scansoft Accurate engine. If you use Openbook, I've found that it helps if I turn on color scanning. That setting doesn't seem to matter with Kurzweil though. I've scanned several of the Weight Watchers Family Favorites books and their 365-day menu cookbook with reasonable results. I've also scanned some healthy food books by Ruth Glick that came out well, especially her book Skinny Italian Food. If that hadn't been a library book, I'd have asked to see if anyone would be willing to work with my print copy to help validate if I mailed it out. I may try that with my new Taste Of Home Diabetic Cookbook 2006. It seems to be scanning well so far. :) I feel a little selfish for having some cookbooks scanned and not sharing them. I guess I'm willing to experiment with my scanned recipes because I'm the one who will have to eat the results. Lol. I don't want anyone else to get mixed up though.
