It was in the code segment and in the script I posted earlier this week. I didn't know there were other tools besides sane for operating a scanner in linux. I did a lot of experimentation while scanning in the D&D manual. I found that I got best text recognition when I scanned in the page as line art. My scanner has a top resolution of 600 dots per inch. I don't know if that's good or bad. It's is a really ancient scanner. Someone just gave it to me because they were upgrading to Windows XP and it didn't have drivers. When would that have been, 2001? But it still works great in linux. On 11/04/2015 10:08 PM, Cheryl Homiak wrote: > Thank you so much, Chris! I will contact you. I have tried with the lide 110 and scanimage, which I think may be what I used a few years ago, but get errors when I pass the image on to tesseract and just a blank file. I probably am leaving something out of the command line but I would like to keep trying. > -- John Heim, jheim@math.wisc.edu, 608-263-4189, skype:john.g.heim, sip:jheim@sip.linphone.org
