Hi. I understand it so far that braille support will stop in both zoom-ex and eyepal, is that correct. To me it is not an option to have a scanning solution that can not be used with braille. If eyepal/zoom-ex will run in a way so it could work together with voiceOver it would be great, easy to use, good quality of scanning, but still not as good as finereader 10.
I have worked with both readiris and finereader for the mac, to me it is not good enough. It is one of the last things I still use my windows for. But I hope that there will be a solution in the future, so I also can scan with my mac. Best regards Annie.
