For the fun of it I compared the accuracy of readiris and omnipage prox
a few weeks ago and there is a vast difference. Read Iris makes a lot of
mistakes compared to omnipage Prox. Depending of course on the text
being converted. Looking at the results I would estimate approx 80 to
85 percent accuracy on iris and 98to 99 percent on omnipage prox. Omni
is almost always right, many pages without error. Cant say this for
Readiris, many pages with errors, some with a lot of errors. Big
difference in price unless you are upgrading from omni lite, but clearly
better. Vickie Weir

I can't comment on that particular scanner Jane, but if it is a twain
complient scanner, there is no reason why not. I was using an Epson
3490 and it worked fine. I then switched to a Cannon Scanno LED 60
and it also works, but the only issue I've run into is that it
behaves a little sluggish. Not the scanner, but the software and I
get a message from VO that ReadIris is busy for a few seconds. I use
the chooser menu option with VO and it makes using the software
easier and I suspect this is true with even the Epson scanner. The
scanning software will always launch when you go to recognize a
document and you interact with this program to actually drive the
scanner.
To the best of my knowledge all scanners behave this way. Would be
cool if one could use Sane as a backend to drive a scanner and avoid
the menu of the scanning software, but not sure this is possible.
