[blindLaw] OCR Question

[rjaquiss]

Hello Sanho:

     Unless it has been recently updated, OpenBook is an older program. I
would look at Kurzweil K1000 or Abby FineReader. The K1000 software has a
nice user interface designed for the blind. It is also more expensive. I
haven't tried FineReader, but understand it is accessible. It is certainly
less expensive than K1000. Kurzweil uses the FineReader and I think the
Omnipage scanning engine. You can download OpenBook from Freedom Scientific
and give it a try for free. The last I knew, you could also get a CD from
Kurzweil which will run for 30 days. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Robert

All,

VocRehab is purchasing me an OCR program. They recommend OpenBook. Can
someone tell me the pros and cons of different OCR technologies, and
which you'd recommend for legal work?

Warmth,
Sanho
