access to tabular data by vo in programs like tables which support it.
about ocr programs for the Mac is that they are not kurzweil and the
programs that you use to read the output of the ocr are not
microsoft word
for windows. That having been said, read iris is vo friendly and
works
quite well. I have not tried directing its output to anything other
than
text edit but from what I can tell, it does a faithful job of
preservation
of what is in the document.

Subject: Re: scanning program for the mac?
exactly. I was wondering about this also. I know there's one called
read iris, but I havent heard much about it as far as features and
stuff. is it good with tables and that kind of thing? I'm thinking for
scanning textbooks as well as pleasure reading books.

I would like to be able to scan in books and read them. Is there
some kind of program which will let me do this? If so, then I can
get rid of my windows machine! :)
