Re: JAWS 7.0 and Epson scanner

Alan,
Thank you for responding. When I called Freedom Scientific they said that the 
only OCR software I could use for Jaws was Omnipage or OpenBook. Were they 
wrong? I'm trying to find the cheapest OCR software I could use. Do you know of 
any. Omnipage is $150. Is there OCR software for less?

  Jeanette,

  In order to convert scanned text into readable text, you will need to get an 
  Optical Character Recognition (OCR) program, such as Abbyy Fine Reader, 
  OpenBook, Kurzweil 1000, etc.

  I have an Epson scanner (a different model from yours) and I use Abbyy Fine 
  Reader Pro to scan books. It is fast and quite accurate, and works just fine 
  with JAWS 7.0.

  Just make sure that whatever OCR software you are thinking about getting has 
  support for your model of scanner. An email or phone call to the company is 
  recommended.
