[nabs-l] scanning books with Kurzweil

[angelaroberts10886 at gmail.com]

From my experience, it has trouble capturing two pages at once. I usually have to flip the book over and do one page at a time with my phone. However, I do not know how it will work on a stand. I also do not know how it would work on an iPad.

With the batch mode, you only have to turn the page and it will detect when it is time to scan the next page. Far easier than flipping the book over, turning the page, and then putting it face down on the scanner again.

The other book is both wider and thicker, and I'm having trouble orienting it so that the scanner can capture the pages fully. Does anyone have any tips for scanning books efficiently? I thought of using my scan stand with KNFB reader, but I'm not sure which scanning option would be more tedious or time-consuming.
