I've found that most problems with readiris relate to scanner support.

1. As far as I know, there's no trial version of readiris if that's
what you are wanting.
2. I tried extensively to get this to work for both Carla and myself
and, despite some people on this list apparently use it, we were never
able to get thorough directions as to how to use it, were never able
to get it to work for us, and have finally given up on it until/unless
we find further information on how to get it to work. Carla is using
vuescan exclusively which doesn't give the greatest ocr but is better
than nothing. Wanting to eliminate having to use Windows for it, I
have tried using sane (command-line scanimage) which is available
through macports but I've found a better interface for it in linux.
That is easier for me to use with braille than in Windows but
unfortunately the ocr still leaves something to be desired. So the
bottom line is that for anything really important i'm still using
Abbyy Finereader in Windows. I'd be thrilled to switch to using the
mac for my scanning if some brave person who uses it wants to create a
step-by-step guide for it. Michael, you may do better with it than
Carla and I have done, but i'd be cautious about it from the point of
view of our results. I will say, however, that they are very nice
about refunds if you find it doesn't work for you.
