As I type this, I am posting the June 1978 issue of Kilobaud. What’s different is that I didn’t spend much time processing the graphics. I used the VueScan profile and just brought the pages in raw at 300 dpi into Abbyy FineReader Pro.
I am getting more comfortable with FineReader, too. The “Erase” feature works quite nicely for erasing the edges of the pages using a blend technique. I also used it to quickly straighten some of the pages, although being an “automatic” function, it didn’t want to mess with places that were only slightly skewed. My preference would be able to more fine control over the process. Another plus is that the OCR takes advantage of multiple CPU cores. All in all, FineReader is shaping up quite nicely.
Check out and enjoy the June 1978 issue. And if you compare it with another issue I’ve posted, let me know what you think. Is it quality difference worth it considering it saves me hours of processing?
