Chris,

I sort of knew that open book works without Jaws screen reader, but what I am wondering is how accurate it is compared to other commercial scanner programs like OmniPage Pro 17?

Thanks,

Lennie

The only one I can think of is the OpenBook is self voicing, meaning no screen reader is required to use the program.

Hi,

Can anyone explain to me the basic differences between open book and other software scanning program like omniPage which is what I use? I do know that the cost of Open book is extremely expensive, so that is one difference that I am aware of. I just want to know the advantages and disadvantages of each if that is possible.

Many thanks for any help in providing me with your response.

I tried thinking once but decided it was a bad idea.

Hey, David, that just might be a good idea!  I, for one, would be
interested!

Thanks for thinking of this.  You are a good man!
