Hi George, Well, here's what's on my computer right now. I have Adobe 6.0, and
also I have Scansoft omnipage as well. That's all I have that comes with the
scanner.

Hi Harry,
All you require, apart from a scanner, is some OCR software. (Optical
Character Recognition)
"Omnipage" and "Text Bridge" are two such programs. They have a facility to
"Acquire Text" from within Wordpad or Notepad. However, they do come with a
price, but absolutely no where near as expensive as Kurzweil.

Hi folks, Well, I have a question for anyone out there. I want to scan
something and read it with only my screen reader. I've ben told I can do this
without using a program like Kurzweil, is this true? If so, can someone walk me
through the step by step proceedure to do this? What settings or setting do I
need my scanner to be on? I have no program suchas kurzweil, etc. I thought I
could scan something and have it automatically open in notepad or wordpad and
it would read it for me, can I do this? I'm clueless on how to do this kind of
thing. However, I gotta do something because I can't read printed materials
unless I do it this way. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop with a 1 gig
processor and Windows xp home Edition and 384 meg of ram. Harry
