You are using the demo and perhaps the busy is because it is designed to
prevent you from using/exporting the output of the OCR since you have
not bought the program, it only needs to show it can OCR etc. I have
seen this with several other demo OCR programs. I am only guessing.
There are so may reasons why one gets the VO busy message. Somehow the
computer is locked up trying to do something or waiting for something.
Is there an iris command you have not done perhaps? Vickie Weir

Good evening Vickie. Thanks for the info. I would like to be able to
use the feature for exporting directly to an application. Have you
ever tried this at all. I am wondering how to get around the busy
problem. Thanks.

message
you could tell it to scan and save to the clipboard then manually
tell text edit to paste the clipboard to a blank page then read it.
Or you can write a script to automatically paste it to the text edit
but this is more work. Vickie Weir

Good morning all. I am trying to work with a demo of readiris and
am having the following problem. I would like the program to open
text edit and export the results there so I can read the information
before I save it. When I try to do this if I go to the settings
menu, click text format, go to the popup that asked me to add an
application then after clicking that selection I go again to the
popup and select mac hd and then I get busy and the only way to
close the app is by a force quite meaning I can't set this up the
way I would like. Any way around this? The software does work with
my scanner and I would like to buy it if I can work this problem
out. I don't want to have to scan save and read it later because
half the time I am scanning mail and don't know what it is until i
read it. Thanks.
