Hi,
Not sure if this thread has been halted yet so I'll be brief and plead
ignorance on its closure if it's happened. However, I have used both and
find each to be comparable in terms of functionality. I can only speak to my
own experience and in recent years tech support from Openbook has featured
more blind people providing service and assistance than that of Kurzweil.
That's not necessarily a detriment but what eventually drove me to OpenBook
was a problem Kurzweil never could solve for me. Of course this was merely
one specific situation and that's by no means an indication of how others
would fare. But as I said for the basic daily functions one might use it for
I found both programs to be quite on par one with another.
I hope that helps.
Robin

Subject: re: OT: comparing: Openbook vs K1000
Hi,
Yes, it will be run on the virtual machine on the Mac as well as on a
window laptop itself.
The reason why I brought up this topic is because i'm rather bias
towards the k1000 has been for years. I just want to get some non-bias
opinion on it.
I think the pearl camera is around $1000US or there about. This is all
going to be funded, and the organization that doing the assessments
favor the openbook/pearl package, which is around $2000US or there
about. Like I said, because i'm bias to k1000, and also somewhat
against Freedom SCientific, i just want some clarification. Thus, I
just want to make sure that i'm not getting something that it is not
useful for me.
Also, there were talks that k1000 will be eventually available for the
MacOS, as far as when and how, is yet to be known.
And lastly, I do put OT = (off topic) on my subject line.
Thanks very much for those who reply off and on list.
