It is alive and well... Do you have version 12 patch 4? That is the latest
release and there is some support for at least one digital camera in that
patch upgrade.
As far as Kurzweil 1000 on the Mac; the news isn't good. There is
Kurzweil3000 for the Mac, but the folks at Cambian Learning don't think they
can make enough profit on us blind folks so they say they will not release a
version for Apple because if every blind person baught a copy of
Kurzweil1000 for Mac they still couldn't make enough profit to make it worth
it for them to do that.

Any hope for those of us Kurzweil users? I could live with my old Epson
Perfection scanner, but the new HP all in one takes forever. It's true
that it's quieter by a lot, but it's probably 30 to 45 seconds on the
scanning phase. I hate the mail now more than I ever did, but I don't have
the space nor USB ports for both devices on the desk. If I ever went back
to college, I'd seriously look into a sighted person over what I have now.

Subject: A Question Regarding OCR
Hello Everyone,
In addition to being the proud owner of a Focus 40 Blue, I also obtained
Freedom Scientific's Pearl camera along with OpenBook 9.0.
To put it simply, I am stunned with the OCR performance in both OpenBook
and
the accuracy of the camera along with the dazzling speed of the image
acquisition experience.
I think what blows my mind the most is the motion detection that allows
one
to turn pages and when the new page is in view of the camera, it
automatically takes a photo and begins the OCR process.
I swear it feels as though I have a sighted person reading for me.
I could go on and on but ...
I realize that the pearl has been out for quite some time and am
wondering
if anyone knows if it will work with anything on the Mac.
I know one thing for sure, with the Pearl in my toolbox, I have put my
scanner away for good.
Mark
