[NABS-L] Scanning My Own Books

[Karl Martin Adam]

I can't help you with scanning, but have you tried Bookshare?  
Also, if you're a student, have you tried your school library (if 
you're looking for academic books, any decent university library 
should get you access to a lot through Oxford Scholarship Online, 
Cambridge Core, and Proquest.

Subject: [NABS-L] Scanning My Own Books

Hi there.

I am angry. I want access to a lot of books that have not been 
made into
EBooks through either Kindle or Nook, and I'm tired of waiting. 
These
aren't bestsellers, so it could be years.

What is the most reliable method for scanning my own books? I 
have
thought about doing this before, but when I last tried with
Kurzweil1000,  or maybe 3000, I did not have the best of luck. 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.

Thanks for reading this.
