Open Book is produced by Freedom Scientific and is a separate scanning/reading product. If you are familiar with Kurzweil 1000 or perhaps Dolphin Cicero then it is somewhat similar in purpose and manner of presentation. Whilst Open Book has traditionally worked with flatbed scanners used since the early days it can also be used with the Pear camera unit product by Freedom Scientific. When used with the camera unit you can obtained text from press of a button in about 2 to 5 seconds. This makes scanning large amounts of text much quicker. A demo of the software can be obtained from Freedom Scientific here: ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/WebFiles/OpenBook/OB9.0.1295-32bit-64bit.exe Further info about Open Book software: http://www.freedomscientific.com/products/fs/openbook-product-page.asp Further info about Pearl: http://www.freedomscientific.com/products/fs/pearl-product-page.asp Regards.
