Hi Ian, This is not quite true. Kurzweil of itself has no Braille support. When you load Kurzweil, JAWS speech goes to sleep, and JAWS Braille driver drives your Braille. To prove this, simply load K1000, then unload JAWS and see what happens to your Braille. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.

And also what about Openbook scanner. Those of you that have used both, which is the better system for Braille users. An old PC that I was using a scanning system called Oscar, has failed. So not only do I need new scanner, but need a new PC, as I am told can't use scanner with my laptop.
