Hi Sandy. It was very good, I guessed that it was prizmo that has made such a good result. I can tell a funny thing about scanning, a little offtopic, but interesting too. I had a very difficult cookbook, and my finereader pro 11 for windows, did not do very well, finereader 11 is one of the be

Hi Eileen, You are, of course, right! Dismembering books is sometimes the only way to go, even when using the full Flat-Bed plus PC option, but if we can manage to scan without the destruction, then so much the better! One way to scan from a new paperback without causing too much damage to

Hi Sandy, I am not sure that my comment will be off topic, but here goes. Way back when I was in grad school, I would have a book that would not scan very well with either OCR products. I would pull the binding off so I could lie a single page flat down on the flatbed scanner to get the optim

Hi Annie, It wasn't bad, was it? In the end, Prizmo took the prize! Text Grabber did well, but Prizmo dealt best with the columns. However, this was my second shot, the first showed the half frction for the lemon, but was less good elsewhere. So, why did it mistake the fraction in one

Hi Sandra. Is this scanning done with textgrabber or prizmo. I have been scanning books for many years, and I can tell that cookbooks are the most difficult books to get a sensible result from. I am really impressed that you can get such results with a IPhone and standscan. Best regards Annie.

Hi, I have just been playing with Text Grabber and Prizmo in conjunction with my StandScan Pro. I decided to try them with a book that I attempted to scan many years ago using a flat-bed scanner and Kurtzweil. My results, possibly, ten or more years ago, were less than satisfactory. In fact
