Thanks well I guess the OCR doesn't have to be
accessible if we do it from home, it's a shame that more aren't.

I think you pretty much have it covered. yes
there are low cost versions of OCR software out
there, but they are not generally design for the
vision impaired, therefore accessibility may or
may not be an issue. One cheap package that
used to work well was Omni page pro, but after
about version 9 accessibility became an issue,
this package sold for about $100.
Microsoft office does have an ocr package, but
how well it works I am not sure of, have never
tinkered with it to see how accessible it really is.
Kirtzweil is going to work well, but it is
pricey topping in about $1000, but if you own it
already, it may not be that costly to upgrade,
it is about $150 for each version out of date then the current.
K100 is going to allow you to pull ocr out of
pdf files that are not in text formats as well as from jpg images.
As for the scanner, Epsons work well and some Cannons.
If you want something truly portable, the Intel
reader sold by Humanware is a good
option. Again not a cheap machine at $1700 for
the machine another $400 for the capture station
stand for capturing large portions of text. But
the Intel reader is small and can go anywhere
and run off its rechargeable battery.

Subject: [tmp] OT need recommendations scanners and OCR software
We haven't shopped for this in awhile. We have
an older scanner that does one page at a time and no new OCR software.
We need to convert study materials.
I would imagine the easiest thing would be to
have a multi sheet scanner and prepare it at
home. Not sure if many of those come with OCR software.
I have seen some portable scanners as well that have OCR.
Can for now use the scanner we have and get some
OCR software but ideally I think a multi feed
with OCR software that comes with it sounds best.
Just looking for recommendations on the best set
up and scanners and/or software recommended. Trying to also be economical.
Thanks Claire
