Hi all,

A potential volunteer recently contacted me who is interested in scanning and 
possibly proofreading but he'd like more information about how to use his 
particular programs. He is blind and has indicated below what he uses. If 
anyone knows anything about these programs, please let me know.


I am currently using Non-Visual Desktop Access with Word Pad built into 
Windows. In addition, I am running this Windows machine on a MacbookPro using 
Boot camp.

I currently use OpenBok 9 as a demo but I might be changing to Docu-Scan Plus. 
I tried scanning with that software but for some reason the time it took to 
recognise the text was over fifteen minutes per page I'm not sure if it was 
because DocuScan Plus used the internet to recognise text or if it was because 
of something else.

Thanks,

Madeleine Linares
