[Trainer-talk] Another Scanner Question

[Jaquiss, Robert]

Hello:

     For those of you who don't know, both Openbook and Kurzweil K1000 can be set up so they automatically start up when Windows boots. The result is essentially a stand alone scanner. 

Regards,

Robert

Thanks for all of your suggestions. The client used Openbook for many years and somehow she has decided she would be better off with a stand alone unit.
I don't agree with her. Client is still using XP with Window Eyes. She has no vision, a significant hearing loss  and her husband can only read at about a 6th grade level.
