You might be better to go with Fine Reader 7 by ABBY as a just stand alone. It does work with a screen reader with some tweaking. And doesn't offer the tools or real flexibility but does work beautifully with books. Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.

Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to get something like Open Book or K1000. I was just wondering if anyone has ever used Text Cloner. I found it on the www.readingmadeeasy.com website. It's scanning sofware that will work with a screen reader. Has anyone tried it? Does anyone know if it's worth it to buy? It's much less expensive than the others so I was looking into it. If anyone has any information on this, I'd really appreciate it. Lisa
