<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have a general questions which of the software
Ocr optical character recognition, software do teachers of the blind and
visually impaired use? The major ones I am aware of and am considering
qurchasing one oof the software iare: Kurzweill 1000 or Open Book from Freedom
Scientific. Can anyone also inform the advantages and disadvantages of which
ever software one uses so I can make a wise choice as a consumer. I am aware
that these software have been reviewed by NFB in 2001 and Acessworld in 2006 but
still want input from fellow colleagues and blind people who use either of these
products. Thanks a lot!</FONT></DIV>
