I took a look at Open Book the other day as the March FS cast made mention of a new product that will be using it. I downloaded the demo version and it seems to work ok. I currently use OmniPage Pro and unfortunately Open Book will not open and convert those files. I think if you are a "low vision" user the open Book offers lots of nice features you will not find in ordinary commercial software. However, if totally blind and you own JAWS I find the price too high. Great product but for what I personally use a scanner for it is too costly.

Lol? I've been on that website so many times how come I never saw openbook there? I guess that's what I get for being so one dimentional. When ever I am on that site, all I ever read about is jaws, thanks Chris! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Hallsworth Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 9:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] openbook information www.freedomscientific.com, the same website for their other products. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Kimsan" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 5:20 PM To: <[email protected]> Subject: [Blind-Computing] openbook information > Hi, > > Does openbook have a website?
