I'm late getting in on this discussion. The kind sysop of the Keeping
Room just got this echo. So, if you'll forgive me, I'm wondering why you
like the pc-kpr versus the arkenstone? You're the first one I've heard
that likes kpr better. I know you said pc kpr, and I've never seen that,
and all the comparrisons I've heard are between kpr and arkenstone, and
arkenstone was better. We have some kind of kurzweil scanner at work,
and it may be with that sight oriented software you mentioned. Since the
computer it's on doesn't have speech, the blind folks can't set the
software and as often as not, the scanner works, well like crap. So,
what is the pc kpr? How much is it and why is it better than arkenstone?
Any info would be appreciated. The only bad thing I've heard about
arkenstone is that the documentation is terrible and it can be confusing
to run if you're not a computer genius. Is pc krp easier? Doesn't sound
like it if that discover software is as complicated as you say.
