Maxi Aids also sells this software for $89.95 and I am hoping that it is easy
to use. I am getting ready to get it from the rehab. services office here in
Missouri for reading textbooks and documents for school that are not available
in alternative format.

Try Text Cloner, it is one of the simplest OCR packages I"ve seen and,
besides, the price is not bad, I believe it is $99 or something like that. You
can find more information at

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.
