Text Cloner Pro from Premier Literacy costs around $100, and is supposed to do what OpenBook or Kurzweil will do, for a lot less money of course. This would include OCR of PDF documents. However, as they all say, I haven't tried it. Their web page says it's designed to work with everything, though. I wish someone would buy it and let us know. this could be a really great solution, if it works. I have seen their learning disability products, which are super; but not Text Cloaner.

Note that the below address is on two lines.  And it's a press release.

Hi, George and all:

As you know, I have been searching for an inexpensive and Jaws Friendly
software program that will convert scanned image PDF files to Word or Text
files.

The tech folks at my work place have discovered "Able To Extract".  You may
remember I sent the link to that program to you guys for your feedback.  It
seemed fairly usable to me, but I am getting differing opinions on that
score.

A few people have suggested that I take a serious look at Omnipage, but the
folks at my work place are bulking on that because there doesn't seem to be
a free trial or demo version we can try.

Is it correct that a free trial or demo version is not available for
Omnipage?

Also, what is the cost of Omnipage that would work with Office 2007?

Thanks!

Tom Behler
