Subject: [blindLaw] Openbooks 9.0 by freedom scientific or Kurzweil 1000—for reading and writing

Hello does anyone know if openbooks 9.0 by freedom Scientific is better or Kurzweil 1000

What has better ocr, better scanning and speed, better human like  voices and better features overall.

Also, when it comes to using openbooks or Kurzweil 1000 as a writing  tool for typing, are there any program  that are better than the other in these areas?

Also,  what is better in the overall department?

More importantly, for the purposes of law school, which software is better suited for handling law school workload like casebook reading and other books or handouts?

Lastly, which one is better for low vision use—partially sighted user.

I appreciate anyone feedback and insight here.


Thanks for everyone attention
