[macvoiceover] Scanner issues after Lion clean install solved!

Hi all,

Well, after fighting with scanner troubles after clean installing Lion I 
finally got it solved.  I had been using VuScan 8.6 and Read Iris 11.6 and both 
worked well in Lion when I first installed Lion in July, probably because I 
didn't do a clean install.  

I ended up having to purchase Read Iris 12.0.6 and VuScan 9.  I tried ABBYY 
Fine Reader Express, but it wouldn't recognize my Canon LiDE25 scanner, and, 
Canon doesn't have drivers for Lion for this scanner yet.

I had tried Read Iris 12 a couple of years ago, and found the OCR results much 
inferior to Read Iris 11.6, but, I am delighted to report that the newer 
version of Read Iris 12 has greatly improved this… works as well as RI 11.6, in 
my opinion.  In RI 11.6, all I had to do was press Command R to recognize the 
image and put the OCR results in Text Edit.  I missed this keystroke in RI 12, 
but, fortunately I stumbled across a keystroke that works in RI 12… command S.  
So, I am now back to happily scanning the way I did in Snow Leopard, and, for a 
short time, in Lion!

Hope this will be helpful to some.

Now, the only thing left to do is to try to get my $104 back from Apple for the 
purchase of ABBYY! :)
