It's true, there was a book called Poetic Justice that had 2 BBs shot into the
spine. I've also found bookmarks, boarding passes for airplanes, business
cards, Post-Its, and grocery receipts in books. No money though :-( I always
riffle through books now, to see what I can find, before I put them in the
scanner.

Gary,
Yes, Bookshare has a high-speed commercial scanner with a document feeder.
That's why Carrie mentioned double feeds and jams. I don't know what the model
is, but I think Carrie or one of the staff mentioned one time that it is a
Cannon and costs something like $5000 or $7000. Carrie should be able to tell
everyone more come Thursday when she goes in.
BTW, Carrie, when you mentioned double feeds and jams, you omitted BBs.
<Smile> For those of you who are new, Carrie told us a story about scanning a
used book she picked up at a sale earlier this year and BBs falling out when
she began the scan. Someone used the book for target practice.

You're using a document feeder with that one?

Hi Kaitlyn,
I'm sorry, I don't remember what the Bookshare scanner is. I do know that it
will scan a 250-page book in about 2 minutes, assuming there are no
double-feeds or jams. When I go into the office next week, I'll write down the
make and model, or I'll forget it immediately. Sigh!

Hi Kaitlyn,
Actually it's the scanner and also the OCR program. We have version 5.0 and
version 7.0 of ABBYY FineReader at the office. 7.0 is SO much better than
5.0, it's amazing. The books I submit would be much worse if I used 5.0
instead of 7.0. But of course the scanner has to do a good job initially or
it's useless using any OCR program.

Hi,
I know I have done a couple of Carrie's scans and she does a first
rate
job:) It kind of gets back to the quality of the scanner it seems. I
know
the one I have should last me a good while but I think my next one
will be
up in the commercial level. OH, along with a commercial level
scanning
package like K1000:) Can't wait until I get version 10!
Kaitlyn :)

Recently, I've had a whole string of books to validate where the
submitter
did a good job with the scan, so they were way easy! It was such a
pleasure. And I did about 5 books in a couple weeks, which was also
really
nice. I know 2 were submitted by Carrie Karnos, and 1 by Natalie
Barrett.
Sorry, I forgot the others. Anyway, thanks to every submitter who
makes my
life easy!
Tracy
