Use any of today’s popular scanners or the PEARL™ Portable Reading Camera from Freedom Scientific, to acquire the text of your favorite magazine, book, or newspaper article, and let OpenBook immediately read that page aloud to you. Or open an electronic file from any of today’s most popular applications and edit at will. With OpenBook nothing is left inaccessible and even better, you are in control of how a page is read and presented on your computer screen. With PEARL, you will experience instantaneous page acquisition, enabling OpenBook to process multiple pages within seconds. The PEARL camera has an automatic mode that senses motion and allows it to capture an image whenever a page is turned. When used on a laptop or notebook computer, you will have a truly portable acquisition and reading system while on the go. System Requirements The recommended system requirements for OpenBook are listed below. Specification Minimum Requirement Operating system All 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and 32-bit versions of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

For more information on connecting and setting up PEARL, refer to the PEARL Quick Start Guide. 1. Insert the OpenBook disc into your CD-ROM drive. 2. The OpenBook Setup program starts. You will hear the installation speak the instructions as they appear on your screen. Follow these instructions to complete the OpenBook installation. Note: If your OpenBook installation disc does not start automatically, go to the Start button, select Run, and type D:\setup. If your CD-ROM drive is not D, substitute the correct drive letter. The OpenBook setup program will then begin. 3. Choose the Typical installation to install OpenBook to the default location on your hard drive. Select the Custom installation if you want to install OpenBook in a location other than the default. 4. Once installation is complete, you must restart your computer before using OpenBook. Note: During installation on certain Windows systems, you may receive a message stating that software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows. If this occurs, choose the Continue button in Windows XP or Vista, or the Yes button in Windows 7 to ignore this message and resume the installation. OpenBook will install and run correctly. Uninstalling OpenBook To uninstall OpenBook go to the Programs Menu and select OpenBook 9.0. In the Tools submenu select the Uninstall OpenBook option and follow the prompts to remove the software. If you have any other Freedom Scientific products such as JAWS or MAGic installed, make sure you choose the option to leave shared components. Activating OpenBook After you install OpenBook, you must activate your software. When you first start OpenBook, you are asked to activate the program. You can activate OpenBook at a later time by opening the Help menu and choosing Update Authorization. OpenBook runs in 40 minute mode until it is activated on your computer. To close the Activation dialog box and continue using OpenBook in 40 minute mode, choose Run as Demo. You must restart your computer every 40 minutes in order to continue using OpenBook until it is activated. Internet License Manager (ILM) allows you to quickly activate OpenBook using the Internet. If you do not have an Internet connection, you can activate OpenBook by telephone or fax. Alternatively, you can activate OpenBook with the assistance of a trusted friend, relative, or organization that has access to the Internet. Note: Your user account must have power user or administrator privileges to activate OpenBook. Contact your network administrator if your account does not have the required level of access. You can also use a dongle (a hardware device that connects to your computer's USB or parallel port) to make your OpenBook license more portable. A dongle allows you to use an authorized version of OpenBook on any computer as long as the dongle remains connected. Note: Adding or removing certain hardware components may cause your computer's Locking Code to change. If this occurs, you must reactivate OpenBook. If you need to request more activations, go to http://www.fsactivate.com. Activating with Internet License Manager You can use Internet License Manager (ILM) to activate OpenBook using an Internet connection. This is the easiest and quickest way to activate your product. To activate OpenBook using the Internet, do the following: 1. In the Activation dialog box, choose Start Activation. 2. Read the message that displays and then choose Continue. Insert the Authorization CD into your CD-ROM drive and choose Activate Using Authorization CD. You can find your Authorization CD in the same sleeve as your OpenBook program disc. If you do not have your Authorization CD, choose Enter Your Authorization Number Manually. Note: If you have previously inserted your Authorization CD, you will not be asked to insert it again. Continue to step 3 of the activation. 3. Choose Activate. 4. Use the ARROW keys to select Now, Using the Internet (RECOMMENDED), and then press ENTER. 5. If you used your Authorization CD, your 20-digit Authorization number is automatically inserted into the Authorization Number edit box. If your Authorization number is not shown, type it into the edit box. You can find your Authorization number in print and Braille on your OpenBook disc sleeve. 6. Press ENTER to continue. You will be asked to connect to the Internet if you have not already done so. You must establish an Internet connection before continuing with the activation. 7. If you have not registered OpenBook, you are asked to do so now. Registering OpenBook lets you receive technical support. Choose Register Now and complete the online registration form by following the instructions provided. You can choose to register later, but you must register the next time you activate OpenBook. 8. After you submit your registration, Internet License Manager attempts to activate OpenBook. This process may take several minutes. When the activation is successful, choose Finish. Note: If Internet License Manager cannot activate OpenBook because of your firewall software, see the next section, Troubleshooting Firewall Software. Troubleshooting Firewall Software Firewalls protect computer systems from being accessed by unauthorized users. Some network or personal firewall software may interfere with the installation, activation, or usage of OpenBook. The following information will help you reconfigure your firewall to work with OpenBook. Refer to your firewall software documentation for more information on allowing access for programs and files. Note: Hardware firewalls do not interfere with installing, activating, or running OpenBook. Firewall Interferes with Installation If your firewall software is preventing you from installing OpenBook on your computer, reconfigure the firewall to allow the file Setup.exe to run. Then retry the installation procedure. Firewall Interferes with Activation If your firewall software prevents you from activating OpenBook using the Internet, reconfigure the firewall to allow the following files to run: FSActivate.exe, CAUtil.exe, and CAUtil.enu. Once you have reconfigured your firewall, retry the activation process. If you cannot reconfigure the firewall, or if you still cannot activate OpenBook, go to www.FSActivate.com. Follow the instructions on the Web page to retrieve an Activation License code and activate your software. For more information on using www.FSActivate.com, see Activating through a Trusted Third Party. Firewall Interferes with Using OpenBook If the firewall software prevents OpenBook from running or starting, or displays a warning message, reconfigure the firewall to allow the file OBU.exe to run.

Note: If the CD does not automatically activate your software, press WINDOWS Key+R, type "D:\ActivationCode.exe" and press ENTER. If your CD-ROM drive is not D:, then substitute the correct letter. Activating through a Trusted Third Party If you know a friend, relative, or other trusted person with an Internet connection, they can help you activate OpenBook. Alternatively, you can use an Internet connection in a library, at work, or anywhere else. You or a trusted third party can visit http://www.FSActivate.com to obtain your Activation License code. To obtain an Activation License code from FSActivate.com, do the following: 1. Point your Web browser to http://www.FSActivate.com. 2. Enter your 20-digit Authorization number and Locking code. Your Authorization number appears on your OpenBook disc sleeve in both print and Braille. To find your computer's Locking code, open the OpenBook Help menu and choose About OpenBook. Note: The Locking code is unique for each individual computer. Be sure you enter the Locking code of the computer you intend to use with OpenBook when it is activated. 3. Choose Submit License Request to receive an Activation License code. 4. The remaining steps must be completed on the computer where the copy of OpenBook you want to activate is installed. Begin by starting OpenBook on this computer. From the OpenBook Help menu, choose Update Authorization. 5. In the Activation dialog box, choose Start Activation. 6. Read the message that displays and then choose Continue. Insert the Authorization CD into your CD-ROM drive and choose Activate Using Authorization CD. You can find your Authorization CD in the same sleeve as your OpenBook program disc. If you do not have your Authorization CD, choose Enter Your Authorization Number Manually. Note: If you have previously inserted your Authorization CD, you will not be asked to insert it again. Continue to step 7 of the activation. 7. Choose Activate. 8. Use the ARROW keys to select the Activation Generated from www.FSActivate.com radio button and press ENTER. 9. Type the Activation License code you received from www.FSActivate.com into the edit box and then press ENTER. 10. After you have successfully activated OpenBook, choose Finish to complete the process. Dongle Authorization A dongle is a hardware device that you can connect to a computer's parallel or USB port (depending on the type of dongle). OpenBook is authorized to run on that computer as long as the dongle remains connected. This is useful if you frequently need to use OpenBook on many different computers and do not want to activate the program on each of them. When OpenBook starts, it first determines whether a dongle is connected to the computer. If one is connected, OpenBook uses the features and information for the license associated with the dongle to authorize OpenBook. If no dongle is connected, OpenBook searches for the license information stored on the computer. You can use the Dongle Viewer utility to view information on the license associated with the dongle currently connected to your computer. To start this utility, go to the OpenBook 9.0 program group, open the Tools submenu, and choose Dongle Viewer. Note: It is recommended that you do not connect the dongle to your computer until after you install OpenBook. If the dongle was connected before or during installation, you must restart your computer to receive proper authorization. Dongles are sold separately or as an additional OpenBook feature. Contact Freedom Scientific Sales at 800-444-4443 or 727-803-8000 if you want to purchase one. Note: Certain international versions of OpenBook require a dongle for authorization. Using one of these versions without a dongle displays an error message. Installing the RealSpeak Solo Direct Synthesizer Included with the OpenBook program disc is another disc containing the RealSpeak™ Solo Direct speech synthesizer. It contains a variety of voices in several languages. To install these voices, insert the disc into your computer's CD-ROM drive. Next, follow the instructions to select which voices you want to install, and complete the installation. You can also use the RealSpeak Solo Direct Sample and Download page available at http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/RealSpeak- Solo-Direct-Voices/RealSpeak-Solo-Direct-Downloads.asp. On this page, you can preview voice samples, and then download and install voices directly from the Web page. Getting Started Launching OpenBook OpenBook gives you a variety of ways to launch the program. * Press the hot key, ALT+CTRL+O, which is automatically assigned when you install OpenBook. If this hot key does not launch OpenBook after it has been installed, you must restart your computer in order for this keystroke to work correctly. * Using your mouse, double-click the OpenBook 9.0 icon on your desktop. * Go to the Start menu and select Programs. Select the OpenBook 9.0 program group and choose OpenBook 9.0. Once launched, OpenBook opens with a blank untitled document from which you can begin working and announces whether the document is in Read-only or Edit Mode. If you prefer, you can change the startup document to be the document you were working on last. To do this, go to the Settings Menu and select General Settings (ALT+G, G). In the General Settings Dialog box, press TAB until you arrive on the Open Untitled Document on Startup radio button. Press the DOWN ARROW key to select the Open Last Document on Startup radio button. If you want to make more setting changes, press ALT+A or TAB to the Apply button and press the SPACEBAR. Exit this properties page by pressing ENTER. Next, to change the settings so that OpenBook is always in this Mode, open the Settings Menu again (ALT+G). From the Menu, choose Save the Settings... . In the Save Settings dialog box, press ENTER to make the changes part of the default settings. For more information on this feature, please see the book, Using Settings Files. Closing OpenBook You can close OpenBook like any other Windows application by pressing ALT+F4, pointing the mouse and left clicking on the X in the top right hand corner of the window, or selecting Exit from the File menu. Acquiring and Reading OpenBook combines the best in image acquisition, image processing, and reading features to convert printed media into electronic format. It then displays and reads the content aloud giving you access to material that would otherwise be inaccessible or difficult to read. When you install OpenBook, the Eloquence text-to-speech synthesizer from Nuance is also installed and is the default for reading. OpenBook can acquire images using either a scanner, or the PEARL camera. You can acquire one or more pages from a document, such as a book or piece of mail, and then read or edit the resulting text. If you want to keep the document you just acquired, you can then save it to a file on your computer. Additionally, you can customize the acquisition, processing, reading, and display properties of OpenBook. To acquire a page from a scanner, place the page on the scanner bed and press the F4 key when you are ready to acquire the page. To acquire a document from the PEARL, position the page under the camera so that the top edge is aligned with the page guide. Center the page between the outer edges of the page guide, or line up a side edge of the document with an outer edge of the page guide. Press the F4 key when you are ready to begin acquiring. Note: The PEARL is optimized to work in normal room lighting under most conditions. The LED should be left off. Here are a few shortcut keys to get you started with OpenBook. * To have OpenBook read to you, press INSERT+DOWN ARROW. * To acquire a page, press F4 or SPACEBAR. * To toggle between Edit Mode and Read-only Mode, press CTRL+E. * To silence speech press the CTRL key. * To read faster, press ALT+CTRL+PAGE UP. * To read slower, press ALT+CTRL+PAGE DOWN. Getting Help Context-Sensitive Help When you are in a dialog box, press SHIFT+F1 to read the context-sensitive help message for the current item. You can also access context-sensitive help by right clicking the mouse on a control and selecting “What’s This” or by clicking on the ? (question mark) symbol at the top right corner of the dialog box and then clicking on a control. Key Describer Turning on Key Describer allows you to safely explore keyboard commands without actually performing the command. For example, when you turn on Key Describer and press a key, OpenBook tells you what the selected key does without actually performing that particular function. To turn on Key Describer, press INSERT+1. Press INSERT+1 again to turn off Key Describer and return to normal operation. OpenBook User’s Guide We provide you with the content of the OpenBook Online Help System in the OpenBook User’s Guide, which uses large text for easy reading. The manual contains the Quick Start Guide, a detailed description of OpenBook’s features, and pull out reference cards. Technical Support If you do not find the answers to questions or problems that you have, contact Freedom Scientific Technical Support, (727) 803-8600 or e-mail Support@FreedomScientific.com.
