has any one tried the software on the Microsoft website that allows for windows media audio to work with in quick time?
I just thought this could be a possible alternative as windows media player is being discontinued on the Mac.

We used a microtec scanner, Omnipage ProX OCR and script. The Omnipage ProX automatically can go out to the scanner and request a scan and then automatically OCR the result. The Script just started the process, closed the OCR when done and pasted the clipboard of the OCR text on to the text edit and let me know when it was ready for VO to read it. Pretty simple in concept, but needed some script since the various Apple screen buttons needed autopressing and locating the buttons with script was not real easy as at times the mac script did not recoginize the original setting of the buttons and there were various timing problems that had to be addressed, etc. Vickie Weir Justin Harford wrote: >There arre programs for windows computers like opened book, or Kursweail 1000 that scan printed text into computers, making it into electric text, that can be read by the screen reader software. I remember hearing that mac computers can do this with Irus. Where could I read more about this program? How does it work. Does it come with the OS? When I searched for it under "irus" in the spotlight, nothing came up. I would appreciate any imput that you guys might have about this matter. Thanks > >Justin Harford > > > > >
