I found out that you can read the rescanned images with your screen reader if
you adjust the screen reader. I adjusted something in Zoom Text and it worked.
The read-out-loud feature in the Acrobat Version is not that good. I think
using the screen reader when reading PDF files is better. Kurzweil also, in
version 11, allows people to read PDF files but, of course, you have to import
the PDF files into Kurzweil which is extra work.

Wow, I didn?t know that. I think through work there are some places they are
getting the professional version for around $100 too. Hmmm something to keep in
mind for the future.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and possibly 7 OT
Yesterday, I downloaded a trial of Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 because I
wanted to be able to fill out PDF forms by typing in the information which I
could not do on the free Read-Only version. . Did you know that the
Professional version has a special recognition feature that will take
unrecognizable files which a screen reader like Zoom Text cannot read and
rescan them with an OCR program so that the Adobe program can recognize the
images? The screen reader still cannot recognize the images but the Adobe
program can read it out loud with its read out loud feature. This recognition
feature is not built into the free Read-Only program, as far as I know. The
Professional version is extremely expensive (over $400) but the Professional
version for students only costs, I have been told, about $100. Amazing!
