Tom, I just saw one on this web page, while looking for the Talking dictionary. Haven't tried it but it sounds pretty inexpensive. http://www.jfwcc.co.cc:80/programs.php Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "tom behler" <tombehler@xxxxxxxxx> To: "jaws users e-mail list" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 19:22 Subject: easy-to-use and inexpensive program for converting scanned image PDF files into Word or text documents Hi, folks. I am a bit hesitant to bring this up again, since I'm partly responsible for the earlier thread on this topic, but I am looking for an easy-to-use and inexpensive program for converting scanned image PDF files into Microsoft Word or text files. I need to be able to do this at work, since I am getting a fair number of PDF scanned image documents that I need to deal with. Some on the list here have recommended omnipage, and processtext, but I am reluctant to spend the money on them without trying some sort of a demo first. But, no demo seems to be available for either program. I do have an old version of the Kurzweil K1000 software, but am getting away from it, since most of the documents I use at work are electronically sent, rather than in hard copy. Just for the record, I am currently using Windows XP and Jaws 11. I may be upgrading to Windows 7 when I purchase a new home PC, so want whatever software I get to work with that system as well if possible. Thanks for all of your help and patience.
