Try this. In the pdf, hit control P. A list of printers should come
up. Click on the Freedom Printer and an Open Book file will open with
the pdf in it. You can then save it to various places including a Word
document if you wish.

Agree. Open Book carries with it a handy "Freedom printer" which is able to
open a secure graphically sent pdf so that I might read it.
Nothing else works, not even JAWS OCR. I suppose that I could print to my HP
printer, too, but I'd be using quite a bit of paper and would need to
physically scan each page. So, Open Book is my buddy.

Hi.
According to Erik on the latest episode of the FSCast podcast, Open
book is still relevant. It gives you the 3 OCR engines in one package
for better accuracy, an easy to use self voiced interface, ability to
edit recognized content and a whole host of extra goodies enabling you
to really do a number on scanning that document or book and making it
as good as possible. It's for more serious occasions where JAWS
acquire image OCR capability is for the casual user who wants to check
mail or quickly read a book etc. You could of course acquire the text
of an image then copy and paste it out of the results viewer into word
pad or something similar and there's your editing capability. HJ Pad
for that matter.
So said, right now it doesn't sound like VFO is interested in
discontinuing Open Book in favor of using that OCR which is included
in JAWS.

Does anyone know if with the inclusion of the scanning features in
JAWS 2018 if VFO is intending to end support or development of Open
Book? It has been quite a while since there were any
updates/improvements to Open Book and this new feature set would seem
to indicate a lack of interest in maintaining Open Book as a separate
product line.
If that is the case, does anyone know what OCR programs are being
used in JAWS 2018 to perform the recognition and will there be ways
to "tweek" the performance as there is in Open Book?
It's an interesting release and future developments will be interesting.
