Steve,  You are correct here.  We teach Openbook in our training center
but I prefer and use K1000 for all other staff needs.  I think this was
a personal choice of a former staff member but not sure it was based on
technical differences.  Price could be a portion as well but I do not
know.

Richard,

I don't know what they call it in OpenBook, but I'm sure the principle
is the same as it is in K1000.  K1000 has a "virtual printer," which
shows up as one of the printers on your system.  When you select the
Virtual Printer, the scanning software starts and recognizes the text as
if you had placed a paper copy on your scanner.  When I use the Virtual
Printer, I just open the file in Adobe Reader, press Ctrl+P to print it,
select the Virtual Printer from the drop-down list, and press Enter.
Alternatively, if I open a .PDF file in K1000, the program automatically
starts recognizing the contents of the file.  I'm sure OpenBook has
similar features, although I can't tell you how to get to them.

Steve
