Well my scan is turning out good. The update cleared up my problem, so I am
now cooking on all four burners and about 40 pages into it now. I am
reading while scanning, and in my opinion, it is a very good book so far.
Will get it done as soon as I can.
I am scanning in background but reading one page while scanning the next so
don't worry I am not taking time away from scanning to read.

Not noticeably, it's the same version with just a minor software
update. You can try a few things to improve your scans though. Try
turning off the despeckle option in scanner settings, and turn off
the white text on black background unless you're scanning a book
cover or some types of magazines. You may also need to adjust the
contrast setting on a book by book basis to find a setting that works
best for you. The despeckle option is for use on photocopies, and it
can mess up recognition on books. You will avoid extra line breaks
at the end of lines by keeping column detection turned on. Unless
you're scanning something with tiny print, it's best to keep your
resolution at 300 DPI. I personally find that turning off the
language analyst improves my scan quality, but I don't know if that's
something that would apply to other people. I have my recognition
engine set to FineReader, and the languages I'm using are both set to
English. I hope this helps you. Please ask if anything I've said isn't
clear.
