it is also rather old. Abbyy Finereader could be a better bet. You can scan
into Microsoft Word with this.

There are talking scanners specially designed for the VI community, others
may be able to tell you more about them, but I have found the simplest thing
is to use a conventional mainstream scanner with Textbridge software.
The scanners I have at home and work are both HP, not sure of the model
numbers.
Textbridge is optical character recognition software. It turns a typed
document in to an editable word processed document. You can choose the
format, but MS Word would be the most popular. This then means that JFW can
read the document for you.
I don't find Textbridge 100% perfect with JFW, but a bit of intuition is
enough to get around. Its accuracy in interpreting a document will depend
on the contents eg what font was used, and the use of diagrams, images,
boxes, tables and columns in the original ... and of course it cannot scan
handwriting in to something comprehensible.
Hope this is of some help.
