[nvda] Re: nvda and OCR software

Exactly, you did not know what you were responding to. Instead you just wrote what you did based on an assumption that they live as well as you do. I am sorry sir but I believe your position on the matter is wrong and I am hoping that you will see that what NVDA and other open source software is able to do is help people that can't afford to buy what you can. It is still obvious that you did not fully understand the posters position. 45 dollars a month does not allow him to be able to go out and just buy another scanner. While you say that you can, the person is saying that they can't. My position is, the person is not alone. There are many people around the world, not just people in the US that can't afford it.

Your assumption is not warranted. If the original poster had explained why he was looking for what he was looking for, I would have framed my response differently. What I said before is still valid. You have to buy a scanner. If you buy the correct brand and model of scanner, OCR software is provided free. If you can't get the correct brand and model for some reason, then you may have a problem. The original question simply asked about free OCR software. I gave my evaluation of the free software based on information provided on the web site. At that time, the question of affordability for those outside of the United States had not been raised. I responded to the question as asked.
