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
