Hi Dean,

 

FineReader is very accessible.  Not only that you can scan straight into
Word, which of course, is accessible.

 

I also use Kurzweil, but I don't use Open Book as it is even more bloated
and is slower than K1000 on my machines.  K1000 is excellent though at what
it does.

 

All the best

 

Steve

I've never quite got round to trying Abbyy FineReader but I heard it was
very accessible. How accessible is it?

Hi Peter.
 
Yes I know, 15 was nice but 16 has a completely new interface.  They've
crammed a lot more options on the main screen and they've stacked pages on
top of each other, they call it a tabbed interface but its a pain in the ass
to navigate.

Omnipage 15 is very accessible with JAWS and having used Kurzweil 11 for my
work, I much prefer to use Omnipage 15.

Hi Everyone.

 

I'm looking in to buying a talking OCR product like Open Book or Kurzweil as
the commercial offerings OmniPage and Fine Reader aren't terribly accessible
with jaws.  I'm currently giving Open Book a go and was wondering what other
people who used this product think.  I have used kurzweil in the past, but
I've always found it rather bloated and frequently crashing so I've steered
clear of it lately.  Anyone who has used both products and can give me a
rundown of the pros and cons of each respectably, I'd be very grateful.

 

All the best, Ibrahim Gucukoglu
