Hi, Lisa! One thing that I don't believe has been mentioned for a while,
and which might be of help to you now, is that it helps to either completely
remove the scanner cover or at least leave it open when scanning a book,
particularly a paperback, although I usually do this with hard-backs as
well. Most of us have found that it makes it much easier to press down on
the spine of a book when the scanner cover is out of the way. I'm sure
you're already doing this, but just in case, I thought I would also let you
know that it's much easier to turn the book sideways and set your OCR
software to scan two pages at once, so that all of the page breaks will be
in the correct places... most of the time, anyway. <Smile> Of course, there
are times when a book is just too wide to do this, but when it's possible,
it makes a validater's work go much faster. Let us know if you need more
help. We're glad to have you on board. Take care!

Hi Everyone,
I thought I would start out by submitting a book first. I am currently scanning a paperback book however, it is fairly large. I have Kurzweil 1000, and I have not had as many errors with paperbacks after following the tips in yesterday's post. I am pressing down on the spine as hard as I can, but due to the thickness it is hard to flatten it out. My question is should I take the cover off my scanner, or remove the spine of the book. I would have no problem doing that since it is my copy. If I need to remove the spine, what would be the easiest way to do this? I will submit this book, after I have finished scanning it. I will also have more time to do validation after I graduate from college right now, I am completing my last internship. Thank in advance for any suggestions.
sincerely, Lisa.
