Thank you, Riana Yes, when I launch Openbook, Reed starts speaking. Is that what you mean? Should I turn off Jaws before launching Openbook 9? I seem to think I hve done this but will try again.

Hello Russ, I have earlier versions of openbook, but if you rather than jaws with openbook 9, instead try using the imbedded elloquence that comes with openbook, which uses the same read voice than jaws, you will use less resources.

Hi everyone, There was much discussion about this a few weeks ago. Back then I wasn't looking. I am currently running a Toshiba ultrathin. I have Windows 7, 2 gigs of ram. The problem is my processor is only 1.3GHZ. For some time, this has been wonderful, mainly using Outlook 2007 and Word, 2007. I have the new Openbook 9.0 with the Pearl Camera. This laptop is fast enough when scanning a page. But is very slow in the processing. When I do a scan and read,Jaws is very sluggish as the computer processes the pages I have scanned. I had my processor tested under a load as the scan/read process was done and was told the processor is at its max. Since this was already discussed on this list, I am giving my e-mail address if anyone would like to contact me off list with advice about other options I might check out.
