Hi, Jana. I know what you mean. Ruby was the first scanning software I ever
had experience with, not counting the Reading Edge, and for it's time, it
definitely didn't seem like a bad piece of software, but from what I've
heard about OpenBook, and comparing it to the Kurzweil I have
now...well...<smile>! Take care.

Hi, Julie and everyone! In my humble opinion, Ruby was the best version of
OpenBook. They've added some new features since then, but I just think it's
gone downhill from there. <Smile> Take care!

>>I installed a demo of K1000 this morning, and I want to share that
>>experience here. I have to admint that I'm a little shocked right
>>now because while I knew there would be an improvement with K1000, I
>>honestly believed that many people were exaggerating its
>>abilities. Now that I see k1000 in action, I'm wondering why anyone
>>would choose to go with Openbook by choice. I'm not saying that out
>>of snobbishness. I mean that if people could compare them side by
>>side with the same machine, scanning the same book, few people would
>>by Openbook. If anyone is on this list and is debating which
>>program to go with, please insist on trying both programs yourself
>>instead of assuming that your local technology salesperson knows
>>what's best for you. You may end up liking OB, but please make sure
>>of that for yourself. As for me, I didn't insist on a comparison,
>>believing that Openbook had to be good if that's what others in my
>>area were using. I feel a little sick realizing that I made a dumb
>>choice. Kurzweil will give you a free demo to try if you ask. I
>>think ignorance is what keeps OB around right now. I was able to
>>proofread a book in roughly 12 minutes, a book that took me several
>>hours in Openbook. Vocational Rehab counselors need to know that
>>there's such an enormous difference in software ability. Our state
>>is exclusively Freedom Scientific, and I think it's time to change
>>that at least with regard to OCR software. I'm going to sit down
>>and write my former counselor a letter and describe my experience
>>with K1000. Maybe that will help someone else. I'm just shaking my
>>head in bewilderment, wondering why nobody locally has even seen a
>>comparison between the two systems. This is how scanning should
>>be... fast, reliable, and configurable.
