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. ----- Original Message ----- From: G.W.

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.
