Have you saved multipage scans into one document? For example, if you 
had a 10-page document to scan, did you save it all as one word document 
or PDF? If so, how?

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.
