It wasn't very good in the past, but maybe it works better now. If you wouldn't mind off the shelf software I have heard that Abby Fine Reader is usable with a screen reader and it gets great scans. That is what is used by bookshare inhouse volunteers and other people on this list, so you can get help from them if necessary.

Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to get something like Open Book or K1000. I was just wondering if anyone has ever used Text Cloner. I found it on the www.readingmadeeasy.com website. It's scanning sofware that will work with a screen reader. Has anyone tried it? Does anyone know if it's worth it to buy? It's much less expensive than the others so I was looking into it. If anyone has any information on this, I'd really appreciate it. Lisa
