[NABS-L] Scanning My Own Books

[Leye-Shprintse Oeberg]

Justin,

What things are good for depends on the user, tough. I’ve scanned thousands of pages with the KNFB Reader without any problems and saved the texts as well, but I hated the scanner and OCR programs which I used before. So, the KNFB Reader answers my needs of being mobile, easy to use and in a product which I always have with me. I only told you what I do. With success!

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.
