[nabs-l] Scanning And Reading Appliance (SARA) vs. Kurzweil

[Joe]

Hi, go with ABBYY Finereader. It's a mainstream off-the-shelf product, is a
lot cheaper than the assistive options, and works ten times better than
Kurzweil or Openbook ever will.--Joe

Hi Jane,

Thank you for your response.  How do you like it?  Is it simple to use?  I
don't know much about the devise, but sounded interesting from what I read.
