I use OmniPage 15 (not the Pro version) and it does very well on most
documents and fairly well on image files such as a GIF. Since it is my home
version, I did not spring for the extra money for Pro - don't know exactly
what the differences are other than a lot of cost.

Right; I should have mentioned that OmniPage Pro is my office software, but only version 11.0. The scrooges think that's good enough for me.

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.

Subject: RE: best scanner compatible with Jaws
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? Jeanette
