I realize it was for OpenBook. I've used several scanners with different OCR
programs and different versions of JAWS. If I keep the OCR package and the
scanner the same, changing the version of JAWS has previously affected the
performance of the scanner. That's been my experience, and I was just
wondering if anyone else has had a problem. I don't understand it, but it's
happened more than once. If anyone would like to e-mail me off list, that
would be great. I wouldn't have posted the question if I hadn't had a
problem with JAWS and scanners before.

the list you saw was for open book not jaws.

Jaws does not care what hardware you have with the exclusion of video,
braille display and hardware synth/sound card.

What does JAWS have to do with a scanner? I'd guess you'd have to ask
Freedom Scientific. Apparently something or they wouldn't bother to test
them, and they wouldn't all work differently.

I've gone through the list of tested scanners on the Freedom Scientific web
page, and now I'm looking for anyone who has experience with a USB only
scanner,that is, one that operates with a USB connection and has no power
source other than the computer. Which brands work best with JAWS 5.0 and
Windows XP? Thanks.
