As stated, I like the portability of KNFB Reader for small jobs. I've only had it for a week, but I'm impress so far. What Kurzweil 1000 and OpenBook gives is to state the orientation of a page such as "right side up" or "upside down." I believe this option or feature could easily be added with a toggle it on/off. JMO. Each of the text to speech OCR people apps have their pros and cons in which will perform better for the task at hand.
