Hi Ellen,
If you are using a version of K1000 to scan that allows you to ignore
suspicious regions, and you have "ignore suspicious regions" enabled, try
disabling it. If for some reason that part of the pages got faded more than
the rest of the book, K1000 is ignoring text that it thinks is well,
suspicious. Try disabling "ignore suspicious regions" in the recognition
settings part of the menu and see if that changes anything.
Good luck! It is very frustrating not to be able to capture text without
any reason apparent why. Also, try using gray scale scanning instead of
dynamic which is the default. Gray scale images take a lot longer to
recognize, but they tend to be easier for the OCR to interpret for some
reason, that is they offer clearer text in the end.
Hope some of this helps solve your problem! I'm just guessing, so I don't
know for sure that it will.
Happy scanning!
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] more scanning problems
Hi group,
I'm using Kurzweil 1000 v.9 to scan a book, and I need some help. I've tried
just about everything I know to do, and it isn't working.
I'm cleaning up problem pages in the same paperback as yesterday. On several
pages, the last two lines of text are missing. A couple of times I've been
able to recover them with a rescan, but more often than not the page's text
ends with a period, with the next page continuing mid-sentence, at times
talking about something completely different. I've changed scanner settings
from grayscale to dynamic, placed the offending page in the middle of the
scanner as opposed to right-justified, put the top of the scanner down, left
it up, pushed down the edges of the book with my fingers, in short,
everything I can think of. What really irks me is that the book has scanned
beautifully, except for this one annoying problem. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
Thank you,
Ellen
