Hi Lennie; To purchase Openbook, the price is $995.00. I have heard that the IBM ViaVoice SAPI4 synthesizer can be gotten somewhere. If I can find it I will let you know. Take care. Mike

Unfortunately, I don't have open book thus I only have Reed on my Jaws. So I am out of luck. By the way, how much is open book and is it software that can be used with any scanner? You take care!
