Subject: [bksvol-discuss] I think I will be able to keep scanning after all.
I just got through calling Freedom Scientific and it looks like my
options are better than I thought. First, Sandi offered to give me her
Open Book 8 since she went over to Kurzweil. It was to ask questions
about that possibility that I called FS this morning. Sandi, it doesn't
look like that is going to work. They did say that Open Book 8 is
compatible with Windows 7, but if I was running a 64 bit Windows 7 they
would have to send me an update disk. I don't know if my Windows 7 is
64 bit or not, but there is a certain reason that I think so. That may
be moot though. That was the information I got from calling technical
support. I then called sales. I asked if there were any legal issues I
should be aware of concerning the licence. Well, it turns out that they
would have to transfer the licence and charge 75 dollars to do that and
I would have to upgrade to the latest version of the software.
Obviously I would be better off just buying the latest version. Now
here is the good news. The sales rep asked me some questions so that he
could verify that I already owned Open Book 6. It turns out that with
that verification I can get Open Book 9 for way, way cheaper than I
expected. The price was so low that I think I am going to go ahead and
do that. I did not make a commitment just yet though. Most of the
people on this list use Kurzweil and as I read all the banter about
using it on this list I get the impression that it is a much better
software. So can someone post a link to a web page that will tell me
something about their discount for switching from Open Book? I
understand that the price is still pretty high if I do that, so I am
probably just going to upgrade my Open Book, but as long as I am
shopping I thought it would be a good idea to at least look into it
before I take the plunge.
