Which is really cool. Kurzweil is the only company I know that has this advantage. With FS you have to "pay for" all the upgrades in-between. And for other products you have the SMA system which... alas. But indeed it is wonderful that if say you had version 5 and decided at one point to upgrade, you only have to pay $985. Shelley L.

Even if you have an old old version of Kurzweil it only costs a one time charge of $95 to get the latest version 9. It has many features to create excellent scans. For those of you who have not upgraded, the new features are fun as well as extremely powerful. E.
