[macvoiceover] Re: OCR aand vo

I don't think I saw thiss on Mac Visionaries, but at any rate, from what I've been able to gether, your biggest hurdle might be getting a scanner compatible with thee Mac. Once you've done that, Read Iris or the other one should do just fine.

Hi all. I asked this on the Macvisionaries list and got no replies, so thought I'd try here.

I do know that there are a couple of ocr options for the Mac;; what I need to know is whether those programs are useable or enough to warrant my purchasing a flatbed scanner. I currently have a very oold vera which I got used; I can read mail and books with it but the information is one long bunch of pages with no way to skip around easily and no way to have different files for separate items. There's no way to transfer the material to a computer except by using line-in and transfering an audio file; no way to get a text or braille file. But itt's much better than being totally dependent on a reader. I'd very much like to be able to switch to a scanner connected to a computer but want to know whether this will really be practicable at this point. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Tia.
