Will,

I am a Kw user and know nothing of Openbook.  I would recommend Kurzweil for
ease of use, and it has rarely caused me problems.  One point worthy of
consideration is that with KW you can upgrade from an old version to the
latest one, without paying for any versions you may have missed.  I do not
know whether this is the same with Openbook.  Also, the KW license allows
you to use it on any machine, as long as you are the sole user.

It is probably also worth considering that Openbook will soon be paired with
the new Pearl camera technology if that is what you wish to use.

I am just putting these points forward as things you might wish to consider.
I do not have many answers, but am just posing a few questions which others
may wish to comment on.


David

Hi Will

To me, personally, they are much of a muchness in terms of features.  Open
Book supports Braille without needing to have JAWS running in the
background, whereas K1000 doesn't.  K1000 isn't copy protected in the way
that Open Book version 9 will be either, but it costs £100 more at the
moment.

I use both of them.  What I can't get out of one, I generally can with the
other.


Kind Regards,

        hi all, how does k1000 compare to openbook?
It seems that k1000 has a lot more online based and daisy features or does
openbook have all this as well?
