Dear Sue, Gerald and Jake,
Thank you, Gerald, for the information specific to my question about Open
Book.
Sue, I followed your advice and went to Jake's home site and read his
comparison of Kurzweil and Open Book where I learned even more.
Jake, I'm used to going to your tips and lists site for instruction,
refreshers, to contribute to and review the categories and always to skim
the recap on the newest Marissa's lists. I forget I can also go to your home
page which boasts a cool animated graphic which doesn't confuse Jaws.
I remember that Grace was one of the first volunteers I noticed who
encouraged us to go to your list for solutions to our scanning and
validating problems and who described the tips she wrote herself. That
list has certainly grown! It's as if you've devised a sort of Wickopedia for
Booksharians!
Some of the contributors are volunteers I don't recall posting here ever or
often. It just reminds me that those of us who post to this list are a small
percentage of the active Bookshare volunteers.
I need to remind myself that while it may be quicker and more personal to
ask questions here, my first impulse, that it's more time efficient for
everyone if I check the tips list
where my answer is waiting.
Always with love,
Lissi.

Lissi,
OpenBook includes the following OCR engines: FineReader 7.0, OmniPage
12.5,
and Recognita 12.5. It doesn't appear to be available for the Mac, but
I'd
suggest calling Freedom Scientific and asking them instead of assuming
that
it doesn't since their website still shows on one of its pages that it
supports FineReader 6.02, OmniPage 12, and Recognita 12 instead of the
versions I listed above which come with OpenBook as of version 7.02.
The number is 1-800-444-4443.
HTH
Gerald

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Open Book scanning engines
Dear Bookshare Friends,
In previous discussions you told me Kurzweil has 2 scanning engines, like
fine reader and omni page, or some programs like that.
Does Open Book 7.0 have scanning software built in? If so, does anyone
know
what it is called? Also, does Open book work with Mac computers?
Thanks.
Always with love,
Lissi
