Hi all,

I am an access technology specialist and several of my clients of late have had Scansoft on their computer, instead of Openbook or Kurzweil. Because of this, I have had a bit of time to explore this program, which I believe used to be Omni Page.

Anyhow, if anybody here uses this, do you find it to be user-friendly for a blind person, using a screen reader. Is this method of scanning preferrable to the programs designed specifically for the blind? I guess I'd just like to know what people think about this and other scanning alternatives as they relate to Bookshare.

Thanks,
Scott
