There is also a program from www.readingmadeeasy.com for scanning of you are blind, and one if you are not.

My current OCR software is omnipage 14. Aside from the fact that it's getting old now, it has some fairly significant accessibility issues, e.g., a lot of things cannot be done from the keyboard, &, being lazy, I really don't feel like writing a bunch of scripts. I'd like to b able 2 afford something like Kurzweil, however, that's major league $$$ & my $$$ won't even make the minor league. I noticed that ABBYY fine reader has a competitive upgrade for $89. Has any1 used this software, &, if blind, how accessible do u find it? How accurate is it? Has any1 done a comparison between it & Omnipage 14? I got a demo & it seemed like there were a lot more hotkeys than in Omnipage but 15 days doesn't really give a lot of time, especially if u don't use it every day. Any help appreciated, &, if this is not on topic, please let me know. -- Jackie McBride Check out my homepage at: www.abletec.serverheaven.net To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
