Yeah, um, I think I tried tesseract for Ahn Meong-Chul's book (he was a guard at SEVERAL NK concentration camps). I did NOT get good results with tesseract. And honestly, I thought Linux was supposed to work well with Canon 8400 scanner.

Speaking as an Asperger's autism person, sometimes I just need to see things summarized in "ten words or less". I am grateful for the internet, specifically Wikipedia, telling me about freemasonry. I suggest it is not something I will engage in. The Korean school (for deaf and disabled) was founded by a family there, and there is absolutely...

No, I don't think I want to create a PDF. I scanned pages from Ahn Meong-Chul's book (in Korean) and uploaded the JPEG to a website that specializes in OCR of foreign languages, one page at a time. Then I cut and paste the characters into Office 97 (which can handle Korean). I open the paper book and re-format the Word document so the paragraphs and quotation marks, and sub-chapter headings match the paper book. Then upload one paragraph at a time to Google Translate.

My new Japanese book will be the same way, but I have to install a Japanese language capability, whether Win7...

I'm sorry. Amazon's listing does not tell me. ISBN search websites don't tell me either.

I did get my copy of DOGANI today (Korean). It appears to be the testimony of about 100 abused children that inspired the movie "SILENCED". An art teacher sees physical and sexual abuse in 2005 in a Korean school for the deaf and other disabilities. I haven't even finished scanning Ahn Meong-Chol's book yet (in Korean, discussed in another thread), and now I have another Korean book to scan.

By the way, if you ever want a good book to read, there is a book "SPOTLIGHT"...

I ordered a Japanese book, it will never be published in English. A Mr. Fujumoto was a Japanese sushi chef who became a cook for Kim Jong-Il. He was not perceived as a threat to the dictator's power, so he became very close to the dictator. Apparently, the dictator is QUITE hedonistic, with a lot of debauchery. Although he can spend as much as $700,000 per year on alcoholic beverages and this alcohol is NOT actually the highest quality. Also, the dictator has 24 palaces. One of them is as large as TEN YANKEE STADIUMS PUT TOGETHER. Are they all that large?

Does anyone have experience...
