Can you provide the links to these scanning programs?
I am a mac exclusive as well, and would love to be able to get some
scanning software.
Thanks, Olivia

Read Iris is a very good OCR program. I use it inconjunction with
VueScan, which handles my scanner better than Read Iris does. While
the OCR in Iris is very good, its scanning abilities are below what
they should be. However, Vuescan handles this and they can even be
linked together so you can scan with it directly into read iris.
This is the approach I use, being a Mac exclusive. There's also
Omnipage Pro X for Mac, but I have no idea if Nuance is updating it
anymore or not, and they aren't very forthcoming with information
regarding it.

Hi all,
I'm new to the list and have been really enjoying the messages I've
read so far. I don't have my own mac but my fiance has a mac and
lately, I've been playing around with voiceover. As I've been using
it more, I've really liked what I see and now I kind of want a mac.
But anyway, I have a quick question and haven't been able to talk
to actual users. For those of you who are exclusively using the mac
and do a lot of scanning and OCR, what program do you use? I know
there are some lists of accessible scanning and OCR programs online
but I was just wondering if you could comment on how you like them
and how they compare to the windows programs if you've used them,
like kurzweil and openbook. Do you find that it's just as powerful
as the windows programs?
Thanks so much.
Ronit
