Subject: [bksvol-discuss] just got Kurzweil 9
Hi all,
I just got Kurzweil 9 yesterday, and I've already finished scanning two
books with it. I was pleased to note that even Scansoft Fast is not at all a
bad OCR engine. I scanned a grungy old paperback with it, and I was very
happy with the results--I read the whole thing and there were very very few
errors. Beware though--it doesn't recognize double dashes. I discovered
that, so I went back and fixed all the ones in that book, but it's something
to be aware of.
Besides the practical improvements, some fun things have been added. For
example, I set Kurzweil so that when I close it it declares, "Okay, I'm
gone." <grin> That was really satisfying yesterday when it was crashing and
being stupid, and I yelled "Just get outta here!" as I hit alt-f4. <lol>
The latest Fine Engine is really good, but it's also really slow if your
computer happens to be an ancient hunk of junk like mine. However, I'll soon
be getting a new computer, and then I'm sure it will be much faster.
