  I have been using READIRIS PRO10. I used to use ScanSoft OmniPage Pro, but 
find this proscan far better. It can do OCR on any kind of image file, and I 
find it the most accurate. It is JAWS friendly, although like most similar 
products, you need the JAWS cursor for a full experience.

    Omnipage lost me during the transition to XP and a few upgrades during 
which ownership, and support, changed.

      Hi Jeanette,

      HP can be a good choice. My first scanner was an HP ScanJet 5200C. Then, 
I used a UMax Astra 5400 and when it ended working, I bought a Canon CanoScan 
3200F.

      I didn't have any problem with those three scanners and jaws and I really 
like my Canon since it's really fast. In fact, the main issue here is the 
compatibility between jaws and your preferred OCR software. Then, looking for a 
scanner bundled with a jaws-friendly photocopier is a good idea. For this 
reason, depending on what you want to do, choosing a Canon may not be a good 
idea. The photocopier which is embedded in the CanoScan toolbox is highly 
graphical and using a braille display to control it is a great plus.

      HTH, have a nice day. Chris

      What is the best scanner compatible with Jaws. I thought it was HP but 
now I'm not sure and what features should I look for in a scanner?
