Hi Steve.

Are you talking about fine reader 8 or 9?

  Hi Dean,

   

  FineReader is very accessible.  Not only that you can scan straight into 
Word, which of course, is accessible.

   

  I also use Kurzweil, but I don't use Open Book as it is even more bloated and 
is slower than K1000 on my machines.  K1000 is excellent though at what it does.

   

  All the best

   

  Steve

  I've never quite got round to trying Abbyy FineReader but I heard it was very 
accessible. How accessible is it?

  Yes I know, 15 was nice but 16 has a completely new interface.  They've 
crammed a lot more options on the main screen and they've stacked pages on top 
of each other, they call it a tabbed interface but its a pain in the ass to 
navigate.

  Omnipage 15 is very accessible with JAWS and having used Kurzweil 11 for my 
work, I much prefer to use Omnipage 15.

  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
