David, I couldn't agree with you more about the JAWS upgrade policy. It's appalling!! (smile.)
Does the latest version of K1000 work well with Vista, or does anyone know of another upgrade of K1000 coming out that might be worth hanging on for. 

Thanks.

Jackie

Carol,

Kurzweil is now much more accurate than version 8.  I have version ten and
find I get far better scans than with version nine. After scanning a book I 
often have a result of %99.8 accuracy which is far better than I used to
get. Another advantage of upgrading with Kw is that you do not have to pay 
for the upgrades you missed.  Therefore, if you go from 8 to 11, which is
the current version, you do not pay for 9 and 10 which you missed. If only 
Jaws had the same upgrade policy.

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.

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.

Richard
