Oooh, you mean, I can possibly join the up to date crowd by the end of the 
yar.

cool. smile.

Jake do let us know if that release comes out, smile.

Am still using Kesy 9 as I didn't have the money and wanted to wait to see 
if the engines would be upgraded.

Hello Monica,

OpenBook and Kurzweil currently use the FR7 versions, partly because to my
knowledge, the package they get to interface with their programs isn't
available to them until a few months after the actual product release. So,
FR8 was probably out for a while before they had access to putting it into
the programs.

In any case Stephen at KES has said that they're still hoping for a version
11 release by the end of the year and that among the updates are the new
versions of both FineReader and Scansoft.

HTH,
Jake
