Hi folks. So far, I have only scanned one or two pages at a time with SharpEye + Lime + Goodfeel. Note, I have the latest Goodfeel package.

Now I want to attempt a big project over the summer. I have two textbooks, both containing lots of music notation and paragraphs of text, and both several hundred pages in length. What's the best strategy for attacking something big like this? Will SharpEye retain the paragraphs or pages of text, or will I have to re-scan the book in another program, like Openbook, to get the text, then splice in the music examples?

Has anybody else here attempted a whole textbook like this?

thanks for any suggestions. Just wanting to keep the process as efficient and streamlined as possible. *grin*

P.S. Besides the software that came with my HP 6350C scanner the HP Precision Scan Pro application, I also have Openbook 7.02. I mention this because it also has an image only setting, and people report that it's output is very easy to read when I scan a page and send it to them as graphics. Is there any advantage to using this rather than the HP software, as a frontend for SharpEye?
