I have Kurzweil version 8 on my computer, and I don't like it much. It really messes up the formatting of documents. So I switched to the finereader7 stand-alone and use that with jaws. I now only use the kurzweil for reading because it works with the atnt natural voices. Does the scan-ar retain the formatting of documents nicely? How does it handle pictures embedded on the same page with text?
