Larry and others, Please understand that I have some exposure to the KNFB reader but don't sell it and am not an expert. I have not used it under Windows 10 yet. According to someone else who responded on the KNFB Reader list, they have used it with a scanner. Two things to keep in mind though, are that it may not optimize a scanner to the same degree it does a camera, and it may not retain formatting to the degree that Open Book, Kurzweil 1000, FineReader or OmniPage do, but it is less expensive. Its strength is working through a camera, and also to start reading the text quickly. It is designed to start reading text before an entire page has been completely processed by the OCR engine. Your best bet would be to get on the Reader-User's list and ask questions there before you make a purchase.

The clearest way I guess I can ask the question is if one can use a flatbed scanner with the software in the same way one can with Openbook, or is it designed only to work with a camera. Surely, the KNFB Reader would be a bit less expensive than OpenBook, right? _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
