Hi Adrian,

            Thanks for the explanation. I know that I've heard OCR used
before but never knew exactly what it was.  I kind of thought that it had
something to do with scanning but wasn't sure.  Thanks again for your help.

Carmen

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
