OpenBook

OpenBook converts printed documents or graphic-based text into an electronic text format on your PC, using high-quality speech and the latest optical character recognition (OCR) technology. OpenBook utilises both Nuance OmniPage and ABBYY FineReader OCR engines to bring you the most accurate text recognition available.

With the low vision features, you can tailor the appearance of the text on your screen (font style, size, character spacing and colours), view with split screen and compare your  original document and OCR conversion results. Use masking and word spotlighting to help you follow text as it is read.
