[NABS-L] Scanning My Own Books

Tue Dec 4 11:21:56 UTC 2018

Bookshare is a good idea. When that fails, I am using an Opticbook scanner. The software doesn’t matter as much as your knowledge of hw to change its brightness settings etc to get the best scan.

I was using a flatbed scanner. I succeeded because I had read the book in a digital format before so I caught the mistakes. I'm looking for a way that will have a 95% success rate in recognizing text, and will allow me to save it as a word document.
