Hi Terrence, I have been watching posts on the list re the various Mac options, and I came to the conclusion that the best option for me was to keep my Windows PC set up for scanning purposes. I'd love to see a really good scanning/ocr option for the Mac--one that doesn't involve three different apps--but from what I can tell, it just isn't there yet.

After spending $249 on Premier Assistive Technology's literacy package because of the scan-and-read functionality, I have decided the thing's not all it's cracked up to be, since it opened in an X11 window and didn't work at all with VO. So now I'm doing what I think I should have done in the first place instead of listening to the general AT specialist who spoke on the Mac at our local AT conference; I'm on my knees to the true experts...fellow users. What do you all all use for OCR tochnology that *works*? I know there's been a lot of discussion about OCR experimenting lately, but I need something that's going to work with a minimum of finagling so I can spend my time *READING* the documents I scan rather than fighting with the software. True I like putzing, but for my day-to-day stuff I'd really prefer not to have to do that more than necessary.
