last week, kim Komando spoke of such a program in her "Cool Tips"
newsletter. Perhaps you can find it at:

Well yes, but I don't think I need any of those. For my scanning needs I use fine reader 7 which does an excellent job. I am not interested in those so called features specifficaly designed for the blind. There are other tools much cheaper if not free that do the same job.
Thanks any way. Nektarios.

Hi, well have you considered kurzweil or OpenBOOK? I know these are usually thought of as scanning programs, which they are, but they also read daisy and brf books and other formats, and do a very good quality job at reading documents. Just a thought. But of course, they are developed for the blind which makes them expensive as they have a lot of features you wouldn't need normally if you were sighted. But maybe that is what you want. Take care. --le
