Hi i know about openbook but want to find out if it's possible to scan a book in a format which jaws would be able to read?

I guess I am not sure what you are asking. If you scan a book using OpenBook you can read it with JAWS.

Once the page images have been processed by an OCR engine, either in Openbook, K1000, or many many third-party programs intended for the regular software market, you get text. Save it in whatever format you want, rtf, txt, doc, and read it in your program of choice with Jaws. There's nothing mysterious about the process. |

a scanned image is just that, an image, nothing to read until an OCR works the images over and attempts to turn the little marks on the picture into a text file type. now then if you need a less expensive OCR, find abbey fine reader, and then hunt for an older version (I.E. if current version is 9, then look for 8 and you can probably get it at a significant discount!) although the last time I looked AFR in the current version was running 99.95 from its maker, quite a difference between that and openbook.
