Open Book is produced by Freedom Scientific and is a separate scanning/reading 
product.  If you are familiar with Kurzweil 1000 or perhaps Dolphin Cicero then 
it is somewhat similar in purpose and manner of presentation.

Whilst Open Book has traditionally worked with flatbed scanners used since the 
early days it can also be used with the Pear camera unit product by Freedom 
Scientific.  When used with the camera unit you can obtained text from press of 
a button in about 2 to 5 seconds.  This makes scanning large amounts of text 
much quicker.

A demo of the software can be obtained from Freedom Scientific here:

Subject: [access-uk] Open book?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me in few words what Jaws open book is, what version you get it 
with, or is it a seperate item/software and is it compatible with most talking 
books?

Thanks,

Mike
