Having it at the top means less strain for the eyes too. In any office situation it's best to have the centre of the screen bellow your horizontal line of sight. ABBYY did their research.

Very interesting: that really hadn't occurred to me at all! Perhaps I'll make this configurable, with the ABBYY way as the default - having the text at the bottom seemed much more comfortable to me ...

Go to http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum and announce the project there (they have a dedicated "Software" section, this forum seems limited to Calibre, Sigil, Writer2ePub, etc), here, on your Facebook page, etc. It can help tremendously with motivation. I know this from working out. When you announce something to the world, you're bound to have it done. Maybe you don't wanna be seen as foolish, maybe you wanna be seen (by a potential employer, perhaps) as someone who completes projects, who gets things done and is passionate about something.

That's a great idea - I'll probably restrict myself to here and Facebook for now, though
I've already got getting Qutenberg to a reasonable state as a goal before I'm allowed to go job-hunting again, so this also helps with the motivation!
Appreciate the response
