Hello all.
thought I'd warn people on this list who might not be subscribed to
the discuss list that you should probably not rush out to buy the
canoscan lide 60 unless you have both a display and sighted help.
However wonderful it may be once you get it installed, the setup
program on the cd is totally and disastrously vo-incompatible; all
one sees is a window that says setup, with only little beeps when one
tries to use vokeys in the window. It is possible to install
individual apps one at a time but there doesn't seem to be a way to
install the drivers without the setup program and apparently there is
a certain order in which things need to be installed. Greg kindly
rushed to make aninstaller and sent it to me to try; one other person
on the Discuss list also tried it; it appears to install the drivers
and the toolbox but when one plugs in the scanner or opens the
toolbox app one gets a message saying that a file may be missing or
dammaged or settings may be incorrect and to reinstall the scanner
drivers and then the driver is closed. The other person on the
Discuss list who tried greg's installer finally was able to install
from the cd that comes with the scanner by having a sighted person do
it; apparently it's very simple as one just checks the apps to be
installed and the program does it. Apparently also it does a good job
of scanning. But at least at this point, don't bother buying it
unless you have access to a monitor and sighted help. will let you
all know if there are further developments.
