It is your anti virous I just did a insert a and that was in the attachement
list as 1 attachement. Go into properties of your virous software and tell
it not to do that.

I don't know why it says attachment
Perhaps it's my antivirus. Sorry.
Other people have mentioned it too.

Thanks, I'll try it out.
Btw, does anyone else's email program say 'attachment' when listing mail
from Silvara, although there is no attachment? No one else causes this in
my Outlook Express, unless they actually have an attachment. I don't know
that there's a problem, but I'm wondering why this happens.

Hi Evan:
When I used Openbook I took some time scanning pages with different contrast
settings. It does make a difference. It takes a few minutes in prep time to
get the best settings.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Any Difference in OpenBook's OCR Engines?
I was just curious if any OpenBook users had noticed any difference in the
three OCR engines it uses. I tried scanning a page or two using all three
and I couldn't really tell any difference. But I've only scanned three
books so far, all using Fine Reader as the default. But those with more
experience might be more aware of differences that might not show up in a
page or two. Even a very slight difference that's hard to detect will add
up to quite a few errors after three- or four-hundred pages.
If I get any responses, and if I see a consensus brewing that either
omnipage or Recognita is better, I will change to one of those. I get
pretty good results with Fine Reader. But it could always be better, and
I'll change in a moment if more experienced people think one of the others
is better. If they don't agree, of course, then I'll stick with Fine
Reader.
Also, another reason I ask is that the book I'm reading through is of very
high quality. Once the preliminaries are over, the text is extremely good.
It might be better than my OpenBook could do. Of the two hardcovers I have
scanned so far, they came out pretty well, but this might - might - be
better. I don't know what system he is using, but it is very good. It
still misses some things, of course. It's not perfect, especially those
beginning-of-chapter first words that no scanner seems to be able to get
right. But there are quite a few pages here with nothing whatever wrong on
them. I admit, I'm a little jealous. I get perfect pages, too, but I don't
think I get as many as this guy gets. Sure, not all books are created
equal, so maybe he got an extremely excellent font in this book. But maybe
I'm not using the best OCR engine, or the best settings I could be. I've
just been using automatic contrast on the books I've done so far.
Thanks for any feedback.
