Sounds a bargain, when did fine Reader 9 come out please? I have 8 point 2 i think it will deal with Pdf files and in fact looking through files just now I found an example where Kurzweil read a file that Jaws could not it being an image file, in other words a friend sent me a newspaper article which was actually a photograph of the article. I had a phone call from Germany a year or so ago from Abbey Fine reader and they offered me a free trial in either Cd form or download, but as mentioned having K10.5 I though it worth paying the extra to get additional benefits and the lates version of fine reader, this was I see in november 2006. I hope it is Ok to mention Kurzweil on this list Thanks dorothy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris & Doris" <chipmunks@xxxxxxx>

an old version of Finereader Pro 5.0 was avaialble for free with computer magazines over here and just needed to ge registered online.While this was with German mamagazines, the installer and program is ultilingual and wold come up in the system's default language.A blind guy here put the installer for this version up for download on his webpage. The direct download link is:http://ulrichhanke.de/Programme/AbbyyFinereader5.0Pro.exe You need to register online with an email address at http://www.abbyy.com/register_magazine_computerbild2006 and you will get a serial number emailed automatically.Finereader 5.0 is not the latest and greatest (they are at version 9.0 currently) but FR 5 was a very decent and solid product and I scanned many books with it at the time. It does not recognize pdf files, for example, but will give you decent ocr and does work under win xp.I am not sure if and for how long it will still be possible to register this product - or how long the webpage will keep hosting it.Good luck!
