[Pibe-division] two assistive technology questions

[Robert Martin Pardue]

1. Openbook for JAWS will open and read the ebook.
2. PDF's come in two versions- Text based and picture based.  Kurzweill is really good about handling both.  You would open the PDF as you would an old KESI file. File>open and such. Depending on whether you want to extract the text for braille or have the pdf read will dictate the next steps. What is the end goal of opening the PDF? You may need to zone edit, clean up, and identify pictures before having it read.

 responses appreciated     
HI:
Below are to assistive technology questions I'd 
appreciate receiving feedback about. 
1. How do people who are blind read ebooks using 
Jaws for Windows? 
2. How does one open a pdf document using an 
optical character recognition software in either product Kurzweill 1000 and 
openbook? Thanks for any responses to my inquiries.
