I have had grey scale improve my results. It isn't often though. Usually I
just test several of my settings files with the settings that most commonly
work well. If None of my settings files seems to be working very well, I
will try to optimize or use the setting file with grey scale and/or higher
DPI.
When I really find grey scale or color scanning useful is when scanning
things that were never meant to be scanned, like boxes or anything else
somewhat flat with text on it that I find laying around. hehehe
I only really trust my own judgement while reading the scanned results.
Kurzweils opinions about text quality whether from the recognition
statistics or ranked spelling are a good quick check, but definitely can be
inaccurate.
The case of a book working better with low resolution makes some sense if it
was a really old book. The print quality might not have been too greate,
and so a less detailed scan would make the low quality less noticible. It
wouldn't pick up so many white and black spots mixed in together in no
particular shape. I would think that would happen more often with dot
matrics print outs than books though.
Bye permenantly, at least for today. I have had enough of my computer.
