You are right on, the only accessible OCR for Mac right now is Eye-Pal which
has no where close to the features of Kurzweil1000. The best solution at
this time is K11000 in Windows and with the latest Fusion you should be able
to setup a hotkey so that you can actually launch K1000 while you are still
in Snow Leopard and Fusion will handle getting you over to Windows,
launching K1000; which isn't half bad.
Just a word of warning here. After more than one experience; stay away from
the Mac Book Pro 13 inch laptop. There appears to be a problem with not
always getting sound on the Windows side of things which apparently can only
be solved by installing a USB soundcard to use for sound on the Windows side
of things. Again, this only seems to happen with the 13 inch model of Mac
Book Pro.

Subject: Re: scanning and the mac
There is no solution for the Mac equal to K1000 if you use things like the
bookmark and other features of that application. The k3000 for Mac is old
and not vo-compatible and not appropriate for blind folks. Stick with k1000
and never mind native Mac solutions if you're a power user, which it sounds
like you are. You won't be happy with other solutions that don't offer
features you're use to and don't offer anything like the convenience of the
K1000 application. I have K1000 running on a Windows machine with a
bookedge scanner by Plustek. Bootcamp or a vm may work for you. Good luck.
