What is enhanced convenient OCR? As opposed to Convenient OCR? I use both Openbook and Convenient OCR and find them both to be extremely useful. I would not be without either one. I use the latest version of Jaws 17 and I have used convenient OCR to get me out of a few tight spots including reading a long renters agreement that nothing else would read that was sent to me via PDF electronically. It did a spectacular job. As for Openbook, I am reading my mail as well as books with Openbook and while I have my own Openbook I am using a borrowed Pearl. That works totally as advertised. I just forwarded someone a letter from the phone company yesterday and they thought I copied and pasted text from the web site. They were surprised when they discovered I had scanned a letter using Openbook and pasted the text into an email. I'm looking forward to seeing what Freedom Scientific comes up with next.

Not answering your question directly, I find that Open Book is ze best graphics text reader for me. When I encounter a graphic-any one with text in it - I just print the article in which it's embedded using CNTRL P and shortly the full text comes up. If the graphic is a part of the overall, i just scroll to it. Open Book is a great OCR option for anyone reading a lot of graphically-generated text. It also works for protected etf's. Apparently, protected etf's print just as any other one. I am a happy camper with Open Book.
