Hi, Shelley. Well, as for the spelling dictionary, if I know a word is spelled right and I know, based on things I like to scan, that it's a word I'll encounter fairly frequently, I do add it. If it's something I know I hardly ever see, I just leave it alone, even when I know it's spelled correctly and not a scanno. Take care.

I am getting um, buried under a pile of scanned but not quite ready to submit books. I have Kurzweil 8 and I am awaiting my copy of nine, come on Mr. Post man, smile. Anyway, what "short cuts" could I use to get these books which are for the most part great scans ready for bookshare without reading them thoroughly? As I do read a lot of my stuff thoroughly and fix on the fly using the BN, but it is a time consuming process. Would love some pointers. They are mostly nonfiction books. And on average about three hundred pages. Thanks. And do you all add words that you know are spelled right to the spelling dictionary in Kurzwiel or leave it alone. Thanks. Shelley L.
