Hi Jamal,

Have you ever tried scanning directly from the pdf file? This is a feature offered by OmniPage Pro and I'm told by some other OCR software. I find it produces a more accurate scan than going through a scanner.

Take care,

Hi Will,
Is the electronic version of the book a PDF? If so, does it definately permit screen reader access? I've been burned with a couple of purchases of books lately that had security settings that locked me out completely, and I tried various PDF extraction tools.


In one case, I was able to print the book, and may scan parts of it, ironically, to achieve accessible text. Another PDF not only blocked exporting to text, copying to the clipboard, and screen reader access, but even printing as well. The only way I was able to read it was with a sighted assistant who read sections of it from the screen in Adobe Reader!

Regards,
Jamal
