| NOTE | Kurzweil 3000 Professional USB scanning features are not supported on 64-bit Windows 7 operating systems. |
| Kurzweil 3000 for Windows is designed to work with scanners that meet the TWAIN standard for image capture devices, which includes the vast majority of scanners available today. If you buy a flatbed scanner that is marked with the TWAIN logo you should have no trouble using that device with Kurzweil 3000 for Windows. If you are looking to use Kurzweil 3000 for Windows with a high-speed scanning device the easiest way to determine 100% compatibility is to order a Trial Edition of Kurzweil 3000 to test with your scanner. If you should find a device that doesn't work contact Technical Support. |
Kurzweil 3000 does not currently support thin-client based environments as it was not designed for some of the special requirements of these systems.
Kurzweil 3000 for Windows Vista, 7, or 8 currently operates only in English or US English language.
