It will change from book to book and sometimes from page to page. There will be ballpark settings for a particular scanner, and you'll learn those over time. Like other people have said learn to use the Optimize feature at first and even later it will give you good guidance. One thing I must stress is Do Not use Autocorrections without checking what's been corrected. I've had books where one of the caracters speaks in some kind of dialect and the corrections will eat that alive. Either strip those corrections out in advance, or do a correct, read the output of the corrections feature and see what you need to change. Or just turn auto correct off and read through your book. For anyone else using K1000 and still tuned in, my specific problems were with Poul Anderson and his people who would speak with a Danish or German accent. The v's such as in vork, vomen, vill, etc., were all changed to w's. Worse, the word "wold" which he uses sometimes, got changed to "would". I can send you my corrections file, but you would need to know where to put it. Version 13 can handle this, but I don't know about earlier versions even my beloved version 11. Sorry for the long message. Whichever ones work for the particular book. ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Zeigler To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2014 8:12 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Scanning with kurzweil 1000 Hi all what Setting the settings for kurzweil 1000 Chris Zeigler
