Hi, Sarah! According to their promotional material, it works with all of
them. So far, I've only tried it with one file, and I thought the
recognition was better with K1000. But for someone who doesn't have K1000,
it's better than nothing.

That program doesn't work with immages does it? i would think it would only
be for PDF's that would be accessible with a screenreader and the accessible
version of Acrobat reader, which is free, but of course I could be wrong.
There are some other free converters, but i no longer know where to find
them.

Hi, Merrill! I recently discovered a little program called PDF Magic,whichwill convert PDF files into an accessible format. I costs $59.95, and youa
can find it at
http://www.readingmadeeasy.com
if you'd like to check it out. I recently purchased it, but I haven't hadoutlinechance to play with it much. It isn't perfect, but then, I guess you get what you pay for. <Smile> Take care!
