Wow 10% OCR errors? Minimum? Samantha time for a
new OCR package. Yours sounds like... a dinosaur. {8^D
I have a 30 dollar package that makes waaay less than half
a percent with decent input.
BTW, a dinosaur is not necessarily a bad thing. Those guys
kicked some serious butt for hundreds of millions of years and
it took a giant meteorite to nuke em. By comparison, we mammals...
suck. You can be sure the lions would scatter like roaches if
Mr. T. Rex showed up.

You and all of us. I have over a thousand titles, most of em
hardback. Ideally I would like to ASCII all the text without
destroying the books, if possible. Let me know if you find
anything workable. {8-] spike
