Judy, to add a little more detail. I never bought OpenBook because I believe there are so many other ways of accomplishing what it does. Essentially, it's an OCR program with scanner that was designed with JAWS in mind. However, as you may have seen with the recent KNFB Reader thread, there are now many other, much more affordable ways to convert print to digital text. But since I don't own it, I hope Openbook users will chime in with any advantages it may have over other options. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2017 5:53 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Reading a PDF OpenBook is an FS/VFO product, and it's not exactly free. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2017 5:42 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Reading a PDF Where do you get Open Book and is it free?
