manufactorers website for your scanner and see if there are new drivers for it
that's windows 10 drivers.

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.

What kind of OCR solution are you looking for? there are various OCR programs

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
