Ted,

I'm surprised to find you this optimistic, considering your past comments here on access to MS Access. These applications are, indeed, obscure. It was a good idea to contact this list, just in case someone does have information. I'd also call Freedom Scientific to ask if they have experience with any of them. Then, as you said, I'd contact the application's tech people to see how aware they are of assistive technology.

Re: [Bulk] Open Book
Dean Martineau <dean@...>
In response to the initial question, I feel I can with some knowledge
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
compare Open book 9, Kurzweil 12 and DocuScan Plus. The latter is clear and simple, not for complicated work. Between the other two, if you can afford Kurzweil and your scanning needs are serious, you will have far better results than you will have with Open book 9. There are also off-the-shelf solutions which enable you to input text from the printed page, and many people use them. I would suggest, though, that if you can afford Kurzweil, the sheer power and capability of the program outstrips all the others when used by a blind person. Now, to stretch and keep this post marginally on topic, note that when you use Kurzweil, the scripts invoke JAWS sleep mode, so you can either let JAWs snooze in the background or you can use JAWS to interface with it, though I don't recommend this approach.
