Openbook requires win9x and it helps to have a Windows screen reader which I seem to recall chuck not having. Openbook is also expensive. Although openbook is an excellent product as is kw1000 I found it was possible to run Textbridge or omnipage pro and they were far cheaper. There is Linux OCR however; OCRSHOP and it works at the console it uses fine-engine I believe for OCR. Bart Bunting is using it I seem to recall. Regards, Kerry.
