It isn't Fusion that is the problem. The issue is if you try to run Windows
without running it as a virtual machine. The sound usually works if you are
running Windows through Fusion as a virtual machine. But, if you choose to
boot to Windows instead of booting into Snow Leopard and boot directly into
Windows there is a good chance that you will not have any sound in Windows
due to some kind of sound driver problem that Apple and Microsoft neither
seem to have a good answer to. But, luckily it only happens on the MacBook
Pro 13. I have the MacBook Pro 15 and have never had the problem with mine
or any of the about 15 machines that I have setup with both Windows 7 and
Snow Leopard.

That seems quite odd, as I have a iMac and a 13 inch Macbook Pro, and VM
Fusion is fine on the Macbook. I also have the iPal Solo (stand alone
version of the iPal). I opted for this as I did not realise at the time
they were working on Mac software.

You are right on, the only accessible OCR for Mac right now is Eye-Pal
which has no where close to the features of Kurzweil1000. The best
solution at this time is K11000 in Windows and with the latest Fusion you
should be able to setup a hotkey so that you can actually launch K1000
while you are still in Snow Leopard and Fusion will handle getting you
over to Windows, launching K1000; which isn't half bad.
Just a word of warning here. After more than one experience; stay away
from the Mac Book Pro 13 inch laptop. There appears to be a problem with
not always getting sound on the Windows side of things which apparently
can only be solved by installing a USB soundcard to use for sound on the
Windows side of things. Again, this only seems to happen with the 13 inch
model of Mac Book Pro.

There is no solution for the Mac equal to K1000 if you use things like the
bookmark and other features of that application. The k3000 for Mac is old
and not vo-compatible and not appropriate for blind folks. Stick with
k1000 and never mind native Mac solutions if you're a power user, which it
sounds like you are. You won't be happy with other solutions that don't
offer features you're use to and don't offer anything like the convenience
of the K1000 application. I have K1000 running on a Windows machine with a
bookedge scanner by Plustek. Bootcamp or a vm may work for you. Good luck.
