Tim, Did you get the demo directly from Freedom Scientific? I notice on their site they do offer a demo. That is one expensive piece of software ($995.00) Is the demo fully functioning? How long does it last?

Actually, Openbook does record Elequence onto MP3 formatted files, if you set it to record the text into either WAV or MP3, its your choice. I hope this helps, I had the program as a demo, that's how I know. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann M.
