According to Dave, my guess wasn't too good. I guess it's a good thing FS made this particular move. If worst comes to worst, one can always create a plane PDF file with a scanner, and process it through JAWS. I'm not even sure my scanner driver(s) will work with 7; that's how heavily I use it.

Subject: RE: Still having problems with scanned image PDF files I actually did a comparison between the JAWS OCR and the Freedom Import Printer available in OpenBook. I used the same document for both, so there are no variables. I got better results with the JAWS OCR feature. Any ideas out their why this might be? Do I possibly need to change a setting in OpenBook? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason White via Jfw Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2014 7:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Still having problems with scanned image PDF files Dave Carlson via Jfw <[email protected]> wrote: > Correct.

I've used this three times in the past week or so (all journal articles that had been scanned, uploaded to the publisher's database and never had OCR applied - only the abstracts appear as text). Recognition results were reasonably accurate in all cases - a small sample, of course. _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
