not the KNFB Reader app.

Thanks for mentioning the release of the Kurzweil software. I will
have to review the new features before making a decision to get the
update. When I have a little more time, I'll check out the
alternative book sources to see if I can get an electronic version.

Hi Eileen, I really second what Richard said about finding a
Kindle edition. Or perhaps a book share addition. It's great to
have hardcopy books if you have an a vision to see the pictures or
whatever. But my life has been made so much easier since I started
getting cookbooks in electronic versions. I have had Kurzweil 1000
for years, and I love it. But there are limits. Good luck with it.
By the way there is a new version of Kurzweil just out.

Hello All,
My question to you Sandy is: What is a Theromix? 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.

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. I have been an iphone user for the
last 5 years, and i have never pay for any app that is over
$5... grins.
Thanks for the idea.

Eileen,
This is serendipitous as I have just started to scan some
cookery books myself.now, although K n FB is a very good app
the requirements for scanning recipes requires complete
precision.even when using my stand scan pro I find there will
be the odd error.these errors are so slight that if I was
scanning fiction, for example, they wouldn't matter, but with
recipes…so, I decided to bite the bullet and ask my partner to
use his flat bed scanner and PC to create PDF files.he then can
pass those files over to me and KN FB will digitise them.I
should mention that I no longer have a PC or laptop or my own
flat bed scanner. his PC/laptop are barred to me!neither does
he have any screen readers on them.don't I sound
pitiable?however, this was my choice: having decided that I
would never, never pay the extortionate rates that the adaptive
software was asking of me again.I know there are programs such
as NVD a et cetera which I could now use, but when I decided to
give up my laptop this wasn't really a viable option.Plus, I
wanted to push my iPhone to its limit.so, in short, if you can
obtain PDF files, you can use the KFFB reader to OCR them for
you.I don't suppose your cookery books are for a Thermomix are
they?this is my latest indulgence and has turned me from an
appalling cook into really quite a good one!unfortunately, all
the recipe books for the Thermomix do not exist in E
format.good luck to you and happy cooking!

Hi Richard,
I agree that while KNFB Reader is an awesome app, there are
projects where a scanner solution is better just as you’d rent
a moving truck if you want to move rather than making 20 trips
with the car. The ideal solution would be to have a scanner
with automatic document feeder and to destroy the book so you
can just run the pages through the scanner. I have a Fujitsu
Scansnap IX500 and while it would only scan to PDF, it is so
super blazing fast and does automatic souble sided scanning.
If I had a paperback book with 300 pages I could probably scan
that with that scanner in about 5 minutes and then just use
Openbook to recognize the single PDF file. I guess now that
Jaws does OCR on entire PDF documents you could even open the
PDF in Adobe Reader and tell Jaws to do the OCR. It would be
interesting to see if that works.
What is the book you are trying to scan, Eileen?

Sieghard

I'd recommend waiting until the next update comes out that
should include retaining the format of the page.
The standscan might be the best choice of stands to attempt
this, but in reality, I'd recommend using a computer with
OpenBook or Kurzweil software for that size project.
If you have a Bookshare membership, you could request that
book and even offer to send the print copy to a volunteer
willing to to scan the book ...
Good luck,
Richard

Hello All,
I have just purchased a 300 plus paperback cookbook, with
the page size approximately 8 X 11.5. I am using an
iPhone6 with iOS 8.1 with the KNFB Reader. I'm wondering
if others have scanned a book of this size and what they
used to hold down the pages that does not have a large
amount of pages to weight down the side. I tried a stmall
weighted object, but that's not to really doing the trick.
Any other suggestions. Has anyone tried the KNFB Reader
with any of the stands or mounts? I would love to hear
their experiences. I will set up the StandScan Pro after
posting this and see how this may assist me in
accomplishing this activity.
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
Best,
Eileen
