OpenBook v6 is very old. Since then there have been significant advances
in accuracy of text recognition. You may still be in time to obtain a low
cost upgrade to Openbook 8. You may want to contact Freedom Scientific at

In most cases, current OCR packages have little problems with title pages.
Conversely, in olden days title pages were. . . terrible.

[bksvol-discuss] Scanning:
I lay the book on the scanner with the back cover facing left and the
front cover facing right. But every Time I lay a page of the book like
that on the scanner especially the title page it comes out jibberish like
abunch of letters and a bunch of periods. I use a epson scanner as well. I
use use version 6 of openbook. Could that be why the title page comes out
unreadable?
Is there a version of open book that can recignize text better than
version 6.0 of open book?
