Thanks Anne, You are right, I do need multiple languages, and I am guessing computer language is like another language on its own sometimes. :) I noticed the quality issue, so I was thinking to buy those scanners that have 3 high speed cameras. Do you know if that works well by any chance? Also, is there a type of scanner that works better with vuescan over another? How do you do your books? Do you turn page by page, or you feed pages through? I was told that unbinding the books might help? Also, I was told that Abbyy FineReader shows the corrections with an image next to the text, so how do you chooce the corrected text? Is it accessible with vo?
Thanks so much!
