Well, that's the thing. I disabled Viavoice months ago because of its fairly
regular crashing, and have been using JAWS with no problems since last winter.
But after I installed K1000, I get this Viavol.exe error whenever I try to
start OpenBook. It is unlikely that I will use it much now that I have K1000,
but it should work, and the program costs a lot of money. The question is
whether I will want to go through a hassle to get it working properly. I
haven't answered that one yet. <grin>

I successfully have both Kurzweil and Openbook installed on two different
machines with no problems. Granted I don't run them both at the same time, but
I am easily able to switch from one to the other. OpenBook is definitely much
more cranky about using ViaVoice TTS speech, so I disabled it and use jaws and
Eloquence to read when using OpenBook.

Thanks, Cheryl.
I don't remember where I saw it, either on this list or the K1000 list, but
I swear that I remember someone said that they were able to run either one on
the same machine. I wish I could remember who that was. I really don't expect
to need it much, but the irritating thing is that I was not even using the
viavoice with it when I installed K1000. Apparently, though, K1000 did
something to something that OpenBook feels it needs to run. That
vaguely-worded hypothesis is the best I can come up with at the moment.

Hi Evan and list. I've had the same problem for the last year. I can't
access openbook 5.0 for the
sole purpose of converting scanned text/reference works in ark format to
rtf for personal library. I've been using kurzweil for a couple years now. --
Of course I can't scan now because we burned out the motor of our Epson 4490.
Isn't technology great (she said sarcastically).

I can no longer use OpenBook. Despite the fact that I was using JAWS
with it, and not its unstable Viavoice, whenever I open it now, I get a
viavol.exe error, and OpenBook will not talk to me with JAWS. What a hunk o'
junk! I know that K1000 is using Viavoice. I set it up that way to read,
because I didn't want to read with Neospeech. I wanted to scan a couple of
pages in this book I was refering to in which I lost all the em dashes to see
what it would do with the same material.
While I expect to use K1000 from now on, OpenBook was paid for, and I
don't think it is unreasonable to expect to be able to access it whenever I
want it.
Anybody got any advice?
