E,
Sometimes OCR software has trouble determining how much space is between
letters or between words and gets confused. It seems to be even more
difficult for the OCR software when it has to recognize large text. You
might have better luck if you try different OCR software on a large print
book (I.e. like switching from Fine Reader to OmniPage), then again, you
might not. I have had some luck, though, recognizing chapter headings
sometimes by switching the ssetting that determines which OCR software is
being used, and chapter headings are usually in a larger font size.
Good luck with the large print books.
Gerald

I have been running into a wave of words separated by spaces lately. No
idea if the book was originally large print or not. Does anyone have ideas
about what might be causing this or really on what if anything a scanning
person can do to prevent this from happening.
I wish there was a tool in k1k which would allow it to combine adjacently
existing word fragments to find out if removing spaces produce a real word.
