I've done that in the past except for grayscale. My grayscale results don't equal my static results by something .3. I know about saving the time on Optimization, and that's making me reconsider. I don't know what effects 400dpi would add into the mix. I'll take a look at them both together.

One very effective way in Kurzweil to scan very quickly while still maintaining all the recognition features that may yield highest quality text is to use a 2 step approach: 1. In settings / scanning, select 'image scanning only' as mode; I also use grayscale and 400DPI because they tend to generate highest quality scans in most cases. 2. Once you have scanned the whole book, change the 'mode' setting to 'recognize image files". Now go take a long walk or go to sleep. the reco job may take 20 minutes. . . or run overnight, depending on the speed of your machine. The beauty of this process is that you will be able to scan the book at full speed, without being bogged down by the slowdown introduced by the recognition process, no matter how taxing the reco settings are.

You might want to clean the scanner glass and see if it makes a difference. Smile. Or else try 400 dpi as I have done that on occassion, though it slows things down dramatically. The font is a little different. Shelley L. Rhodes M.A., VRT, CTVI and Guinevere, Golden lady Guide juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.

I never read your copy. The library finally came up with the copy I had ordered for myself, 4 months back. I scanned it on a whim. Your copy is, I assume, as good as it ever was. Did you use 2-page mode or single? Thanks.----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelley L.

By the by, the seetings were Grayscale, 300 dpi, and Fine Reader 8 as part of Bookshare. So.... I have to wonder, what happened to the book from my desk to Bookshare, as most of what I glanced at read great. Shelley L.

I just took a look at this book for curiosity's sake and foundita horrible scan never exceeding 99.6 and much often lower. After I went through the book with rank spelling, I still had 455 errors.
