Re: [Blind-Computing] scanner
A couple months ago I'd gotten a Cannon Lide 110 from Amazon for $47 all in. Nice little scanner. I'm sure there are faster ones, but it works great for my use. I use it to read mail, make a PDF copy of something, and that sort of thing; plus with DocuScan from Serotek. I don't use it to scann books, it doesn't have a document feeder on it. It's just a good clean, easy to use scanner, and portable too if you're into that. Works off just a single USB cable. Has four buttons in front PDF, Auto, Copy, and Email. Hope that helps.

Re: [Blind-Computing] scanner help
Let's remember to not confuse the special scanning applications developed by Kurzweil and Freedom Scientific (OpenBook) with the utilities that accompany most scanner peripherals these days. Kurzweil and OpenBook are designed to work specifically with blind users and are integrated with the on-board scanning peripheral(s) available on any given PC configuration. On the other hand, the software utilities that usually come with a newly purchased scanner are general user packages that may or may not work well with screen reading software. What I've discovered with my new Dell AIO 810 is that the included scanning utility software will allow much higher resolution (up to 2400 DPI if memory serves); the image is then translated into text via the on-board Optical Scanning Recognition (OCR) software I happen to have (which is ABBY on my system). I find it much more convenient to use my Kurzweil software because it is designed to work effectively with screen reading software. I suspect that if I run into a particularly tough document to scan accurately I could (and have) resort to the accompanying utility that would allow me to up the scanning resolution dramatically. Ultimately though, it all falls to the OCR to convert the scanned image into a text based document. The utility that comes with my new Dell all-in-one scanner is somewhat clumsy for me to use with JAWS and I found the utility that came with my old HP PSC 1315 to be likewise clumsy to use as my main document scanning utility. But these components -- the scanning software utilities, the image scanner and the OCR all work together to yield what we need. ---*---*---*---*---*---*--- Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: billgal...@centurytel.net - Anonymous (from my source of goofy stuff) - Eggs and Bacon for Breakfast - An entire day commitment for a chicken. - A Lifetime Commitment for a Pig For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

About a month or so ago I had Windows 2000 and I used a Epson Perfection 1670 scanner, which I still have and use. Also, I use my scanner mainly with Kurzweil 1000 version 9. I upgraded to Windows XP Pro because my hard drive got corrupted somehow. My friend, who works on my computer, did a reinstall and that is when I upgraded to Win XP Pro. My scanner worked fine and I could still use Kurzweil. Though, when my friend did a reinstall he did not put the Epson Smart Panel in or anything else that was on the original disk. The only thing of Epson I had was in the Start menu which was, Epson Scan. The other day my boyfriend wanted me to scan a picture for him and that is when we noticed that the picture wasn't coming up like it use to. I called my friend and that is when he told me it was probably because he forgot to install the Epson Smart Panel. So, thinking everything was fine today, I was going to scan some things in Kurzweil and the scanner would not move. The light was on near the buttons and the light on the scanner bar was on but the bar would not move. This could have been do to my boyfriend hitting some of the buttons on the front of the scanner. Again, I'll mention that after the install of XP the scanner worked fine and I could scan materials in Kurzweil. Well, I found my CD of Epson and installed everything. The scanner bar moves now which I suppose is good. It was a successful install as I was told on the screen. When I go to the Start menu now it has extra stuff of Epson but the Epson scan option does not open any more like it did. My biggest concern is thinking that the bar moved now I could use Kurzweil. I open Kurzweil and tried to scan several things that I have scanned in the past (like a test to see if it would work) and Kurzweil does not recognize that there are any pages. I'm not sure of what to do. I tried calling my friend a couple of times but he hasn't gotten back to me. Is there anything I could do or try? I did look in Kurzweil to make sure the scanner was listed and it was.

Re: [Blind-Computing] scanner help
Reading Edge was a dedicated Text-To-Speech reading system that was essentially a PC configured with a scanning component, an OCR component and a TTS component. By dedicated I mean there was nothing you could do with this system other than scan documentation. The advantage to such a system is that the processor need only handle the bare essentials of resource management and process handling. You could get away with a smaller, less efficient CPU and supposedly have satisfactory throughput for reading documents. Apparently though, it wasn't quite satisfactory enough because it has apparently disappeared from the market. ---*---*---*---*---*---*--- Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: billgal...@centurytel.net - Anonymous (from my source of goofy stuff) - Eggs and Bacon for Breakfast - An entire day commitment for a chicken. - A Lifetime Commitment for a Pig For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [Blind-Computing] scanner is not reading correctly
Hi Rosemarie, I'm sorry but I don't have any help for you. I am having the same trouble. It doesn't matter if I use MS Word to scan, or Text Cloner Pro from www.readingmade easy.com, I just get a bunch of garbage read to me. I had a sighted friend look at the scanned page, and she said it looked fine, but JAWS just reads a bunch of junk. It has to be some setting that's making JAWS conflict with Windows. I never had this trouble until I got my new computer about a year ago. I'm using XP Pro. If I hear anything, I'll let you know. And if you get it figured out, please give me a yell.

I just printed out a document that I had typed up a year ago for practice. My problem is that when I put it on the scanner to read it, it isn't reading correctly. For instance, the top line is supposed to read Mr. Mark Walker. Instead of reading Walker it's reading Walks. I don't know if it's something with the printer I have because I know I typed the document correctly. I typed the document using word 2003 and am using windows XP home eddition. Any help with this problem would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance. Rosemarie P.S. My nephew who set this computer up for me set my printer to scan in word.
