I was able to buy a card to stick in it, which brought it up to more than just a demo version. Think it has one of those 25 pen cerial ports on back, looks like it. When I turn it on it says welcome to the reading edge, version 3 point 1 is ready. ----- Original Message ----- From: matthew To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 13, 2010 9:38 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Openbook 9
Is it a stand alone scanner? I am sorry I don't recognize it. If so I would think you would use a USB cable? or parallel? I am going to look it up and see if i can find out info about it i am now curious.

Can someone send me a quick guide for her. She doesn't have the time to sit and read the entire website. Specifically, how do you open a file? She has files in there that she wants to put into folders and it won't let her do it. She doesn't know the new menu structure. I don't either for that matter. I tried FS's website and all they have are PDF files which Jaws has a hard time reading. Any help would be greatly appreciated. She is using windows 7 and Jaws 11.
