Hi Nikki,

I'm glad it works now! If you have any more questions, please let 
us know.  Also, I believe there's a list for OpenBook users.  Go 
to www.freedomscientific.com click on training, and see what you 
can find.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

impaired children in MD say "I can!"

    Brian and all, I want to thank you for your help.
Especially Brian for telling me to go to "device selection" and 
picking one
of the two and doing a trial and error.
It worked!!
I can scan now, yay!
hi,

sorry i didn't say to see what may be in that list.
you just have to pick one and try to scan something.

    Well, I am pretty much on my own.
 Been at this all day, lol.
 But I went back to advanced, device selection, and tabbed once 
to "no
 scanner," but wanted to see if I could change it since it is a 
combo box.
 So, I hit the down arrow key and was surprised to find the name 
of my
 printer!
 One problem though.  I ti has two choices and I don't know which 
one to
 choose, both being my printer, but with different numbers, like 
one has
 4usb and the other has something like 4n, at the end of the 
line.
 So, I DK which one to try.

 hi,

 then i agree with Ron and the twain driver for your 
printer/scanner is not
 installed.
 let us know if someone set everything up or if you were left to 
figure it
 out on your own.

    Brian, I did that and it gave me the same dialog box "combo 
box:
 scanner" and I tabbed once, and it said, "combo box: no 
scanner."
 I don't know how to fix that.

 Ron, if you read my post on what kind of scanner I have, it 
might help.
 Open Book was bought for me by my DOHRS counselor.  She had it 
mailed to
 my house and I guess she just expected me to know what I was 
doing.  Not
 fair to me at all.
 I told her I have a scanner because someone at FS told me that I 
didn't
 need the pearl.
 I'm new to this stuff.
 Thanks for all your help.
 Blessings to you all.

 Hi Niki, Who sold it to you?
 call them or Freedom Scientific.
 Did someone come to your place and set things up for you?
 That's why I say call them.
 You should always turn your scanner on before loading Openbook.
 If in the future, you are using Openbook to read files you have 
saved,
 you
 will need to close Openbook and restart again if your scanner 
hadn't been
 turned on before starting your session with Openbook.
 My K1000 says something like "no scanner" or "scanner not 
recognised," so
 I
 close K1000 make sure the scanner is on, then restart.  Problem 
solved.
 You may need to have Windows search the internet for your 
drivers, if
 they
 haven't already been installed.  You may need to know the make 
and model
 of
 your scanner to do this.  I  don't feel confident in telling you 
how to do
 this, so that's better left to someone else.

 Ron

    Hi Peggy.
 I emailed you a while ago and haven't gotten a response.

 I'm very frustrated because I've tried the insert key on the num 
pad.  I
 didn't hear anything.
 I'm wondering how am I going to know when it's done scanning? 
Will it
 say something?

 So, the insert key didn't do anything.
 I then tried the space bar, but you know what?
 A dialog box came up and said "acquisition...  combo box, 
scanner."
 So I assumed that was highlighted.
 I tabbed down to see what else was in the dialog box and there 
was
 another combo box that read "no scanner."
 Then the usual "ok and cancel" buttons.

 Seeing as how I don't know what I'm doing, lol, I hit enter on 
cancel.
 Because I didn't want to mess anything up and not know how to 
change it
 back, if I needed to.
 I really don't know what I'm going to do!

 There's a save option in open book, think it saves it in 
document form.
 You
 can write me off list if you need to, I'll work through it with 
you.

 I have the Pearl too but you don't really need it unless you 
want to be
 portable.  With our scanner I just put whatever I'm scanning on 
the
 scanner,
 hit spacebar, and off it goes.

    Hi all,
 I recently got open book, just the program, to increase my 
independence.
 Now, I’m a hands on learner, don’t like to read to find out 
how
 something
 works.
 My first question of many is, does it work better if I had the 
Pearl?
 I have a scanner, but don’t know how to use it.
 When you open the program, it says, “open book version 9.0, 
read only.”
 Then I’m clueless as to what to do next or how to work it 
without having
 to
 read the guide.

 So, if anyone has any tips or a quick lesson, it would be 
greatly
 appreciated.
 God bless you all.
 Nikki
