Having purchased Kurzweil some time back, I'm not going to go out and get anything else - just will possibly upgrade that which I know ...
If I had nothing then now I'd probably go for Abby Finereader Cheers. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Godfrey-McKay" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Jackie and Carol, Some time ago I switched from OpenBook and now use Abby FineReader. It's about £70 (about half the cost of an Openbook upgrade) and I'm wondering what the bespoke blindness products offer that I don't get with Abby? From my perspective, I think that following my switch, I got better recognition, and better access to PDF files. I lost text to speech (which I never used) but can't think of anything else off hand. I'd be very interested to know why people still seem to prefer the other products.
