[macvoiceover] Re: OCR aand vo

Cheryl. I have readiris pro and need to play with it more but it should do what you want and is vo accesible. not all the buttons have lables but all of the options are in the menus so you really don't need the buttons on the screen. I have mine set that when it does a scan it opens the document in to text edit. My biggest complaint and I don't know if this is with all scanners or just mine iss it takes one pass to actually see that a document is in the scanner and I am gathering that it is also assessing the type of document and then it will take another pass and do the scanning and OCr. a bit slow but it works.

Subject: [macvoiceover] OCR aand vo


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.
