There are many factors that go into scanning and OCR'ing. One of the main
factors is the way a book is held on the scanner. Often times, we don't
realize how a book is being held by the scanner when we're going through the
first time. However, when we're forced to rescan a particular page, we pay
attention to this factor and, as a result, the scan is better. Sometimes, the
underlying OCR engine tends to be querky too.

sometimes make a difference, and how strange that is. grin.

Hi Jim,
I have found trying the other recognition engine often times will do better.
Also, I have done an optimize scanning for one page. Now, if you are using a
document feeder than optimizing will not work. Sometimes, just doing a rescan
will give a much better result, but I don’t know why that is.

Hi Anastasia,
When you scan a book, do you do it one page at a time, or just put the
automatic scan on, and scan the book while you read?

Hi Jim
I scan lots of pages and hve learned a few tricks.
1. make sure the page isnt folded. That happened to me once and I feld stupid.
2. fiddle around with brightness setting. sometimes the nimver needs to be
increased and sometimes it needs to be decreased.
3. there is a setting on my program that says white on black. That takes care
of colored writing yellow on blue for example.
what book are you trying t scan?
If I can get it I'll take a look.
my local library is closed until later this month. That's why I haven't been
making offers to scan.
Take care
Good luck Jim.
Anastasia
