Hi listers,

Not 100% sure about Kurzweil, but in OpenBook, you can open PDF's
directly and have it run them through OCR.  You need not print and
rescan the document.  I believe Kurzweil may have a similar feature.
And this should work better than the JAWS quick OCR feature which, at
least in my experience, is less than wonderful.
