Re: Requesting Suggestions On Scanning A Large Paperback Book WithThe KNFB Reader
Siegard, Firstly, please excuse my typing, Siri is not working for me, and so I hagve been reduced to the keyboard, but the phone is misbehaving, not allowing me to edit, and talking over the top of my typing. A Thermomix is a fabulous madhine, and, indeed, you dcan find one in most Italian houses, it is also big in Australia. I know this is off topic for the list, but I am allowing myself a bit of post Xmas advertising, as I reckon that this machine, which has turned me into a gourmet cook. And, I was awful before. As for the recipes, yes, they are on the website, but that is a bit like saying, here is the ook, isn't that enough? I am trying out Indian cuisine at the moment, and want the original recipes. Kitchen Goddess, Sandy.

If you Google Thermomix you’ll find plenty of results as well as their website. As I said, it is a cooking gadget or whatever you want to call it, but when I see stuff like that especially if it’s been around for decades as seems to be the case with this, I always wonder why it’s not available in every store and used by every household if it’s so great. Only big thing it has going for itself seems to be that its German and I can say from my own experience that “Made in Germany” is definitely a good thing *smile* Just as a last comment, on their website it did say something about all their recipes being available somehow via the website. So, Sandy, have you checked if you can access the recipes that way?

Re: Requesting Suggestions On Scanning A Large Paperback Book WithThe KNFB Reader
Hi Sandra and all Thanks Sandra for the post. Now you are giving me ideas. Maybe, i do find reasons to get KNFBReader after all. I have a bunch of Thermomix Books that sitting on the shell collecting dusts and also hips of fictions and non-fiction books that are rare, either they are from Independent publishers or they are what i'll call festival authors that can't necesarry get it in the main stream market. Maybe, i can make good use on KNFBReader with these books after all. I just, need to compile list of reasons to convince myself that i do need the KNFB Reader.

Re: Requesting Suggestions On Scanning A Large Paperback Book WithThe KNFB Reader
Hello Sandy and Charles, My Optibookk 360: no longer functions, which would have been my flatbed scanner of choice. It use to get such perfect scans, as there is a very narrow frame on the outer edge to scan the text near the spine of a book. I am left with my Brother all-in-one printer, which does an okay job on the text near the spine. I'll have to play with the 2 OCR text-to-speech sofftware programs to see which one will do a better job in the OCR of the cookbook. I also have a Pearl camera, but have always preferred to use the flatbed scanner for such projects as this. Thanks for the suggestions and I'll post when I'll get the results from whatever I decide to go with.

RE: Requesting Suggestions On Scanning A Large Paperback Book WithThe KNFB Reader
Hi Eileen, I was curious about Thermomix as well, but while scanning with KNFB Reader is very much on topic, I just used Google and searched for “Thermomix” since I felt a cooking gadget was hardly on topic for the Viphone list. If you Google Thermomix you’ll find plenty of results as well as their website. As I said, it is a cooking gadget or whatever you want to call it, but when I see stuff like that especially if it’s been around for decades as seems to be the case with this, I always wonder why it’s not available in every store and used by every household if it’s so great. Only big thing it has going for itself seems to be that its German and I can say from my own experience that “Made in Germany” is definitely a good thing *smile* Just as a last comment, on their website it did say something about all their recipes being available somehow via the website. So, Sandy, have you checked if you can access the recipes that way?

I am waiting for the update to complete for JAWS 16. I will then look at both programs; Kurzweil 1000 and OpenBook 9 to see which I will scan the book into. I also do have Fine Reader Pro on theMac, but I'm more familiar with the PC side for text-to-speech software and have extensive experience with them to push the software to their limits. What I don't like with these apps is the fact that when I save the file in a DOC or DOCX format, I lose some of the format of the document. I really need to scan a recipe with KNFB Reader. I only got to the beginning of the book, so no recipes were actually scanned with the app. I will not pull the book apart for a better scan of it.That I do know. Thanks again for all the suggestions. I'll keep all posted on which method I use to scan this large book.

I have a bunch of Thermomix Books that sitting on the shell collecting dusts and also hips of fictions and non-fiction books that are rare, either they are from Independent publishers or they are what i'll call festival authors that can't necesarry get it in the main stream market. Maybe, i can make good use on KNFBReader with these books after all. I just, need to compile list of reasons to convince myself that i do need the KNFB Reader.

scan that with that scanner in about 5 minutes and then just use Openbook to recognize the single PDF file.

Re: Requesting Suggestions On Scanning A Large Paperback Book WithThe KNFB Reader
Hello All, Thanks for the suggestions. I was expecting the solution of using either Kurzweil 1000 or OpenBook 9, which I do have both of. I suppose I could take the pages out of the binding, but I was hoping to keep it in tack. I actually got a very accurate scan with the StandScan Pro without using its lights and only the camera flash from the KNFB Reader. I will give Bookshare a call and see what the process is for one of their volunteers to scan the cookbook. In the past, when in grad school, I sometimes needed to purchase 2 copies, so the person who was doing the scanning could do some markup. Again, thanks and I do know that I can use the batch mode in KNFB Reader. I just don't know the reliability of using this mode and if the app will crash in the middle of this project. My sure bet is to use the PC. *Smile* Well, the only other idea I can come up with is to find the index and get the page numbers to specific recipes that look interesting and scan only those recipes. Thanks for the suggestions. Cheers, Eileen Sent from my iPhone On Jan 1, 2015, at 12:30 PM, Joanne Chua shuang.an...@gmail.com wrote: I think she did mention that is a 300+ a4 size cook book. If, KNFB is the only option, you might want to make sure that is fair distance beetween the book and the camera/phone, to make sure that the phone camera can ditact the whole page. Scanstand or Scanbox might pretty much help, but, if it is a big thick book, you migh need other solution like putting it on top of some stand that you improvise yourself, like a box or something. Usually, allow your phone to have about 15/20CM or about 6 distance on top of the book and make sure you have plenty of light coming through the pages. try scan it page by page, instead of two side page at the same time.
