Hi Ibrahim
Yes, I take your point. I guess that when you've had them for so long,
you forget how expensive they are. I'd simply say there isn't much
difference between them in terms of what they can do.

Hi Jackie.
Much obliged to you for explaining that basic principle *smile*, but at
695 quid each I'm afraid my budget can only stretch to one of them.
Thanks, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim
I use both, but primarily for scanning. I've found that what one
doesn't do that well, the other one generally obliges, and I do like
Open Book 8. They both live on my machine without conflicting. They
have similar features, but I just find it useful to hop between them
if
I am trying to scan a letter or document that one or the other doesn't
read terribly well. Let's be honest, when you live on your own and
have
no sight around, it's power to your elbow to have as much recognition
as
you can handle.

Subject: [access-uk] talking OCR products
Hi Everyone.
I'm looking in to buying a talking OCR product like Open Book or
Kurzweil as the commercial offerings OmniPage and Fine Reader aren't
terribly accessible with jaws. I'm currently giving Open Book a go
and
was wondering what other people who used this product think. I have
used kurzweil in the past, but I've always found it rather bloated and
frequently crashing so I've steered clear of it lately. Anyone who
has
used both products and can give me a rundown of the pros and cons of
each respectably, I'd be very grateful.
All the best, Ibrahim Gucukoglu
