Hi David.
As far as I'm aware, convenient OCR is only used to read programs that
are not accessible, in other words to scan and recognize what's on your
screen. It will not work with your scanner but ABBYY reader, DocuScan,
Omni page etc will work fine.
cheers,
Mo.

Hi Mo
On advice received I have been looking at Abbyy Fine Reader and Omnipage which I would have to pay for after a free trial. As I have Convenient OCR it seemed a waste to ignore it.
I have already written to Skight & Sound for assistance but no response yet. May try again tomorrow.
I use this mostly to read and identify snail mail so not heavy use. Like most blind people I dislike being dependent on sighted help. Anny assistance you can give would be appreciated.

Hi David.
What kind of OCR solution are you looking for? there are various OCR programs that may do the job similar to Cicero.
cheers,

Hi list,
Recently upgraded to Windows 10 since when Cicero has stopped working with my scanner. Can’t find much information about this so wondering if anyone here can help.
If it can’t be kick started back to life then will try the OCR in Jaws if I can set it up.
Any advice or info would be appreciated.
Regards
David
