[gui-talk] For those who use Kurzweil 1000, you've sure got a few things to complain about.

[George Cassell]

As a JAWS user, nothing makes me happier than to see users of competing products complaining about the products they're using.  It simply validates the fact that I made the right decision when I invested in JAWS.

But that only applies to legitimate complaints.  The one I'm seeing in this thread certainly does not apply.  It merely appears to be nothing more than a shameful case of tantrum throwing.

Every product is different.  If they weren't, what would be the point in having two or more identical products on the market?  Not only that, but there would certainly be copyright infringements all over the place.

But since all products are different, even though they're supposed to do similar things, one can expect that the commands and command structure of the various competing  products to be different as well.

If one is using Kurzweil, but prefers the way Omnipage works, then the problem isn't with the product, it's with the user.  

Sane people don't buy Volkswagens, and then lament that they aren't BMWs.

Yes, you're probably right but other OCR software I use such as  
Omnipage does things in a more user friendly way. For example, if you  
change the settings then you can come back to them, Omnipage  
automatically saves them when you quit the programme but Kurzweil  
cannot even do that so yes, I stand by my statement that the  
developers of this software ought to be ashamed of themselves, those  
who have purchased the software will appreciate just how much money  
it costs so that in mind, surely a simple thing like the auto loading  
of the last settings used or the saving of settings with a document  
wouldn't be too much to ask for would it? Cut out all the gimics and  
give us a nice, user-friendly, accurate and stable piece of software  
to use.
