DJVULIBRE SCANKROMSATOR SOFTWARE

I don't regard any of the software we've used as 'conceptually flawed.' I look forward to trying any improvements that are made, and perhaps even contribute to making them, but tools are tools, and I measure them by their usefulness. When I zoom in on the images, they actually appear just as clear to me as the smaller images on the page.

Myself, I'm happy that I can take a hundred-pound pile of books and, with a little work, squeeze it onto a DVD as a collection of PDFs. I certainly won't insist that you should settle for less.

If you can't be happy with less than 16MP and studio lighting, or a flatbed scanner, I say knock yourself out. I also listen to MP3s, and don't mourn the loss of quality compared to vinyl played on a $5000 system, and while I can see the difference an HD TV provides, it's not something I've felt I needed to purchase for my own viewing. I'm with Dan - I have a few thousand books I'm trying to pare down to something that doesn't take two days to pack and move, and trading a little quality for a lot of time is an exchange I'm quite willing to make. I'm not interested in a flame war either, but for my purposes the photo camera is more than adequate for 95% of my book digitizing at this point, and that includes many books with photographs and technical illustrations. Wow, I guess I missed a lot of back-and-forth here. As a forum admin, I guess I have to watch out for this.

Or that Linux is awesome and Windows sucks.

Or that Dan Reetz's portable scanner rocks, and mine sucks. So please, if you're going to comment on ST or SK, don't say that one is great and the other one sucks. If you compare features, certainly SK will come out on top, because SK has all the options, but ST and SK were developed with different goals in mind. So because ST and SK serve different kinds of users, you can't really compare the two applications.

Have you ever seen the zip command line? It's very different from just right-clicking on a directory and selecting 'send to compressed folder' (or 'compress' for us point-and-click Mac users)! You'll have one application for the 'power users' with tons of options and features, and you'll have another application for the 'point and click users' which doesn't have as many options, but is 'good enough' for the majority of cases. Just to add my opinion - I've seen this sort of thing happen a lot in the application space. If to choose between SK and ST - without any doubt ScanKromsator is the best choice. The cheap low-pixel cameras are sufficient only for plain OCR.Ĥ. You may like this idea or not - but it is really so. Otherwise you would just inevitably produce some shit DjVu-books.

Only the high-end professional 16-20 Megapixels photocameras with a nice expensive lens are allowed to be used for DjVu-digitizing paper books. It is a good idea that you are trying to help Tulon to develop Scan Tailor - Scan Tailor should be considered as a 'training ground' - prior to develop a some really good scan-processing program (which does not exist yet).ģ. Both ScanKromsator and Scan Tailor have no future - as they are both conceptually erroneous programs (I can list the detailed reasons why if you want).Ģ. To be concise, I'd like to summarize the following ideas:ġ. The fundamental difference is that the racing has some strict rules - but nobody knows what exactly a good scan-processing program should be. It is not a good comparison (allegory) here.
