DIY Book Scanner

Nope. I just posted something in Software, and there is no edit button to be clicked.

I've been experimenting with djvubind. There is a few issues I ran into sometimes. I am glad to help. If you wouldn't mind, file these on the tracker as two separate issues. The bug report form will prompt some more specific information that will help me to understand what the situation is, you can...

Ah, many thanks Misty. I would never have thought to look at the Russian docs... the code itself if I got frustrated enough, but not Russian.

Does anyone know the format expected by pdfbeads for the file passed by --meta? While I'm asking, anyone know the format for --labels?

I think the reason we haven't discussed it much is because the community is very diverse and each country is going to have its own laws. The United States proba...

Are you interested in a particular platform (Linux, Mac, Windows) or a specific file format (Djvu, PDF, etc.)?

I did write up a walk through of how I do things on the wiki a while ago, but I'm a Linux and Djvu user which isn't the most common setup.

Wow... that is a challenge. The brown color is so close to the black, and is slightly lighter on the left of the image than the right. You may not want to palletize the colors (reduce them to a limited number). Ordinarily, most people reduce their books to bitonal (black/white) for the greatly reduc...

Has there been that much discussion of a LiveCD, apart from threads about Linux-specific software?

• Proposed 100% Linux Workflow: Capture-Process-OCR
• Portable Software Suite...?
