Kurzweil 1000 - New Features and Benefits

• Updated OCR. As is customary, we are providing the latest versions of ScanSoft (16.1) and FineReader (Version 9). You’ll find that ScanSoft 16.1 offers impressive PDF recognition.
• New User Wizard. If you are a new user, try the topic-based mini tutorials in the Wizard. Some topics help you select preferences and set up the system to get you started quickly.
• Text translation. Translate blocks of text from one language to another.
• Pronunciations and Anagrams in the Dictionary dialog complement existing lookup features, Hear a person speaking the word you are looking up and find all anagrams associated with the word. The Pronounce feature requires WAV files that are on the second program disk.
• Image Display now with three options: Show Image for maximized image display, Show Both Image and Text for split-screen display, and Hide Image for text only display.
• Continuous reading and paging functions in image view.
• New devices for sending a document. Kurzweil 1000 now supports any device that emulates a disk drive on a PC, making it possible to send files to virtually any new type of device.
• Bookmarks in PDF. When opened and converted to KES files, PDF files automatically include bookmarks extracted from the originals.
• Save Recognition lets you save and go back to wherever you left off in a recognition process – particularly helpful when recognizing large files.
• MP3 Encoder for audio file conversions. For users who don’t have an MP3 encoder on their systems, Kurzweil 1000 provides one.
• Audio file conversion to Daisy 2.02 from any WAV or MP3 file.
• Playlist support lets you add WAV or MP3 files to existing iTunes playlists or to a playlist on your system’s Windows Media Player.
