Hi Adrien,
The OCR software built into JAWS and NVDA are both excellent and free. So I
would suggest you start there. From memory Kurzweil is about a thousand
pounds, and OpenBook is eight hundred pouds.

Hi Paul
Ok thanks, haven't tried any of the programs you mentioned, I don't know how
to use the ocr programs in jaws or nvda either, how much does open book
cost?
Regards
Adrien

Hi Adrien,
Have you tried Convenient OCR within JAWS. That works pretty well for
reading letters and documents - or NVDA which also has OCR.
Other than that I would suggest looking Kurzweil and Open Book from Freedom
Scientific. Both are accessible but braille support is lacking, sadly.

Hi
I need to start reading my own post and stuff, I have a canon scanner
connected to my desktop, what software do I need to enable me to use this
scanner to read my letters, would I be better off with a purpose built
reading package, if so which one?
Regards
Adrien
