Hi
Vuescan : www.hamrick.com
Read iris: www.irislink.com
A trial of Vuescan is available, though Read Iris doesn't seem to
offer a trial version anymore.

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

Hi
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
