I would be interested to know how accurate Pearl is compared with scanning a
page using Openbook. I have seen an uncorrected scan using the Eyepal and
was not impressed with the result. Yes it would be much faster, therefore
leaving more time for correcting, but it does seem a backward step if
accuracy is to suffer at the expense of speed.

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:

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
