I have Open Book with the Pearl Camera Scanner. I rarely use it due to its limitations. I recently purchased an HP Office Jet Pro 8620 printer/copier/scanner and Adobe Pro X software to be able to edit and read the scans. This works much better than the Open Book & Pearl Camera. Mitchell is correct about my need to have a sighted person assist me with the scanning, but I simply accept that as part of life. My HP unit was $279, on sale, at Best Buy, and the Adobe Pro X will run about $450. However, when I obtained the Open Book & Pearl system 3 years ago, it was near $1000. I have no idea what it would cost today, but I prefer the flat bed HP scanner with Adobe Pro X. I, too, will be getting a new PC soon and I do not intend to download my Open Book & Pearl system on my new PC. That's just me. Others might disagree. Daniel

When I get my new computer at the end of the year or beginning of next, I intend to get a printer with fax and scanning capability. So, I'm wondering, as a totally blind user of JAWS, is there a special scanner I have to get for it to be accessible? Are some scanners out there more accessible than others? What is Open Book? I have heard of it. Would I be limited to getting that or something like that? Thanks. "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right." Henry Ford.
