Hi Matt
I use the ocr reader in Jaws itself.  I think it is excellent.  

Also, have you tried the Seeing AI app?  There is a document reading channel 
option which is very good.  

Hope this helps

Subject: [jaws-uk] ocr

Hi, I am looking for advice on finding a decent ocr software.  I use
K1000 and I have recently been testing the latest from FineReader (which 
incidentally is what K1000 is built around) and in all honesty I haven't 
noticed any visible difference between the two versions (9 and 14) and neither 
seems equipped to handle even reasonable quality print.  Omnipage gets praise 
for speed accuracy etc but I don't believe there is a demo version for people 
to try, and the commercial versions aren't cheap.

maybe it's my scanner that is the problem.  does the list recommend a 
particular make and or model suitable for ocr?  mine is a Canon LiDE120.

Many thanks, Matt.
