Hello Renette,
I would suggest you Fine Reader 8. The OCR engine in Open Book is Fine
Reader 7. Therefore fine Reader 8 is cheaper and more uptodate than
Open Book. The only disadvantage of Fine reader is the learning curve.
You schould get used to it, because it is a standard software. I mean
it is not especially for the blind like Open Book. That is why Open
book is so expensive.
The better choice in my opinion would be Fine reader. You
could ask further questions, if you have some and we would give our
best to help you learn it.
Best wishes
Susie

Subject: Jaws: Fine Reader and Open Book
Hi John and Chris and other Listers
I have the demo version of Open Book installed on my computer and can
try it
out for 30 days.
In "Open Book one has a choice between three OCR applications:
Fine Reader;
Omni Page;
Recognita.
For accuracy it is suggested to select Fine Reader, but then the
scanning
process is of course slower than when Omni Page or Recognita is
selected.
I have now also downloaded a 15 day trial version of Fine Reader, but
I do
not find it as streamlined and easy to work with in the Jaws
environment
than is the case with "open Book.
There is of course a huge difference in price between Fine Reader and
"open
Book.
I shall really appreciate help/input from a Jaws user who have
experience
in using Fine Reader and Open Book.
Although it is not my "feeling" right now, perhaps I can get away with
a
cheaper product like Fine Reader instead of buying the quite expensive
"open
Book?
Renette
