ARKENSTONE USES FINEREADER TECHNOLOGIES IN READING SYSTEMS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Arkenstone is the world's leading maker of reading systems for people with disabilities. The reading systems scan books and other documents, perform OCR and then read them aloud using a synthetic voice. Arkenstone added the ABBYY FineReader technology into their flagship reading product, Open Book, in early 1999, to strengthen the page analysis part of the product /www.arkenstone.org/.

"We've been pleased with the performance of ABBYY's technology and 
are planning on expanding our use of this technology across our different product lines".

Jim Fruchterman,
President of Arkenstone
