Edwin passes on his take on the scanning system comparison. The solution that Edwin references costs one-thenth of the price of the Open Book or the K1000. kelly Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2001 20:24:38 -0500 From: Edwin E. StaudtIII <[log in to unmask]> What about Premier Programming's Scan and Read? I'm not wure that it would measure up yet, but they keep cranking out upgrades and are not at v. 3. Dollar for dollar, this program may well beat out both of the top dogs. L&H has an uncertain future no matter what the Kurzweil team says from its US base, and there are no advanced rumors on the development of Open Book either. Supposedly, Benetec was a reorganization retreat to higher and more fertile technical ground, but who has heard anything from Benetec? Try a new product from a company that is showing signs of technological life! Check out Scan and Read and its related products. VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List.
