Just an FYI, there are mainstream OCR programs as well such as Abbyy
Finereader and OmniPage. I know OpenBook was used as an example, but
just setting the record straight in case you think OCR is a blindie
thing when actually it isn't!

Hi, Mike. O c r stands for optical character recognition. When you use a
scanner and scanning software such as Open Book, the scanned document is
read by the speech synthesizer built into the scanning software. The
software uses the o c r and converts it to speech. I'm no geek, so if any
others wish to jump in here and correct me, or perhaps explain things even
better than I have tried to, I'm all ears, and I hope you are all ears as
well, Mike, smile.
