[JAWS-Users] JAWS and OpenBook version 7
Hi all, I was thinking. I don't know how much it would be to up-grade to OpenBook 9. Is there any other way that I could use my Epson scanner and the scanner's software and scan printed documents into the computer and still read them with JAWS. If I simply scanned the documents into the computer with the scanner, how easy would it be to save that as a PDF or some other file type that JAWS could read? Is there another OCR option that would be cheaper than up-grading to OB 9. I would appreciate any feed-back from you guys. Thank you so much. David Moore from Columbus Ohio. By the way, Linda, please do not get a mac I would be so very sad if you left windows and JAWS!! There has been a lot of instructions to still use Outlook Express. Thanks guys.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and OpenBook version 7
Hi David, The Open Book upgrade to version 9 will cost you $150. I don't know of any free or cheap ways of getting the same results with another software, there is Ducksberry, but that would mean paying the full price for the software, and I do not know the price of it. For the money, the Open Book upgrade is going to be your best bet.

Hi Linda, I use OB 9 with window's 7, and was thrilled to find the setting to scan in edit mode same as I did in OB 7. - Original Message - From: Linda Vanderlitz dra...@color-country.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, February 23, 2015 4:13 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and OpenBook version 7 Mike: After I got over my mad because Openbook 7 wouldn't work on my 64 bit Windows 7 Home laptop, I just installed Openbook 8 and it worked.

I know it will be very different but, fortunately, I have a neighbor who is very computer savvy and although he is full sighted and doesn't know assistive technology all that well, he is a quick learner and as helped me a lot when I've had problems with my laptop and JAWS.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and OpenBook version 7
Mike: So I've heard and I might have tried it except that I plan to migrate to a Mac this Spring. I know talking about on the Jaws-Users List isn't really nice but I hope the owners/managers will forgive me (smile).

I'm still unhappy because Openbook 7.2 worked so much better. But, then, I still miss Outlook Express (sigh).

Is your computer 64 or 32 bit? If your computer is 64 bit, maybe something happened along the line where the 64 bit disk wasn't necessary any more for Openbook8 to run on a Win7 64 bit system. All I know, which isn't much, was having to wait for that disk before I could run OB8 on my computer. Take care.
