Hello Jacob,
I've also attempted numerous times to get additional information
regarding Omni Page and like you, nothing was forthcoming. I get the
feeling that it might be dead in the water.

Read Iris is actually the best OCR I've found for OS X, at least so
far. It's commercial at $129 but they occasionally run specials
especially around the holidays for $59. However, Iris's scanning
features are pretty pathetic, all it can do is open the scanner
driver. This is what I use Vuescan for, you can set it up so that
when you scan with Vuescan it feeds the image straight into Iris as
if you had scanned from within Iris itself. Iris's OCR is very good,
despite its lousy scanning abilities, so I use both programs in
conjunction. Vuescan's OCR is pretty pathetic, but its scanning
features are some of the best around.
If you find anything out about Omnipage for Mac please let us all
know. Nuance won't tell me much except the price and that the
product is still available, but they're giving me the distinct
impression that it is no longer being developed. Their web page
backs this impression up when I look at it--it hasn't changed since
I got my Mac in 2005 except for the name change to Nuance. If they
let you know more please share it with us.

I'm also looking at other alternatives like Omnipage Pro etc. What's
the most accessible one, whether commercial or free? Is it Vuescan
or
something else? Btw, I installed the MP Navigator software from
Cannon but couldn't get it to work at all. It makes a dinging sound
and my bf said the screen says that there was an error in
installation. The menu utility is also a joke and I can't access it
at all.

Hi,
I have a trial, and can't even get my computer to see my scanner,
even
thoug I installed all drivers. It is a Brother MFC 420 All-in-one
box.
Thanks for listening,
Alex,

Okay, so I installed the driver for my Canoscan 5600f and Vuescan
recognised it. I told it to scan text and to use simple text
editor.
But after I scanned, I didn't see any window with the text. What
am I
doing wrong? Can someone briefly give me the instructions on how
to
use Vuescan with VoiceOver?
Thanks,
