OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition.

  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
