I'm finding that Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 works quite well with PDFs . With VoiceOver, it will read continuously and without cutting off letters as Preview does (and Skim and Softcon, in my experience). ADE allows you to pause/restart, move up and down a page at a time, adjust the reading

Hello Sean, Control-click is the standard shortcut to get a contextual menu. So, you can try VO-Shift-m, but if that doesn't work, just bring the mouse with VO-Cmd-F5, hold down the Control key and click with the mouse or trackpad. You do not have to turn VO off. Cheers, Anne On 13 Nov

Hello Paul, I recall that you have an iPhone 3GS. The effectiveness of an OCR app is set by the camera on your iOS device. I get good results with Prizmo on an iPhone 4. I think it might be more problematic on an iPhone 3GS. I've also found Prizmo to be the most robust program to use if
