Good evening Vickie. I will call them tomorrow to find out if this is a demo
limitation. Thanks for your thoughts and help.

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.

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.
Sincerely:
