Carmen,

As Chris just wrote, it means optical character recognition, which boils down 
to the technology for taking words from a printed page placed on a scanner to 
the memory of your computer, where they can be transferred to a word processing 
file.

Hi Jeffery,

What does OCR stand for?

Since you brought up the topic of Open Book, I'll toss in my two cents. Open 
Book was the first OCR program given to me and I've used it for many years. I 
never really liked it, however. Since I was going to spend the money for the 
latest upgrade, I decided to switch to Omni Page Pro which has received great 
press. At half the price it is far superior to Open Book. It allows you to 
select any or all of about 20 programs it will scan into including word and 
excel. Now when I open the file menu in either of those programs, one option I 
can select is obtain text from Omni Page. Select it and your page gets scanned 
and the text appears in Word in the appropriate format. It deals well with 
columns, is fast and accurate.

Sorry that I didn't address your problem.

Sorry Admin!

I am posting this, because I think OPENBOOK as the same as JAWS is a FREEDOM 
SCIENTIFIC Product, and someone on this list, might help me.

Hello!, I am using JAWS 9.0 as a default screen reader, and OPENBOOK 7.0, and 
HP Scanner 2400, to perform into readable many documents, also Adobe Reader 8.1 
is installed on my PC. Two or three days ago, it was OK. Since Yesterday I had 
to restore my S O, to fix an error. And Openbook whenever I need to open a PDF 
file, give me a mesage like this, "sorry, Openbook cannot open this file, 
because there's not an associate program on your system", I am doing as I 
always did, select a file, select type adobe portable document, but it can be 
solved. Then I check, effectively, whenever I tried to open PDF file with Adobe 
Reader, there weren't a program associated, ADOBE READER was reinstalled on 
this machine, then I did an install maintainance for OPENBOOK but the message 
is still on, appears one only option, cancel.

What may be wrong?

So I have a question, How can I check if Openbook recognize my scanner?. thanks 
a lot in advance. Best Regards. Esperanza Villafuerte
