Well, once you know where the scan button is you can use your mouse
keys to hit it. It must be your version of the driver that makes you
think you can't access what you need, because it's working here.
There is also a radio button to set up autoscan which I did get to
work by borrowing some one's eyes.

Hi Krister
I have VueScan Pro, but the standard addition will work just as
well. The big difference between the two is that Pro gives free
upgrades forever, whereas standard only gives free upgrades in the
first year. There may be a few advanced image processing features in
Pro that Standard doesn't have, but for OCR you only need basic
scanning functions anyway. I'll see if I can find any free scanning
solutions that will serve just as well.
I didn't mind the scanning dialog with my Epson scanner, but with my
Canon Lide 600F it's appauling. The dialog has no keyboard support
at all and, though all the options are visible to Voiceover, none of
the buttons are. So, I can set the options to my heart's content,
but can't scan a thing no matter what. This is in contrast to the
older versions of Scangear, where at least the scan button was
useable. Interestingly, the new versions of Scangear can supposedly
remember your defaults and not pop up the window again, but since I
can't perform a scan and save the options anyway that does me no
good. I have my doubts as to whether this option even works, as
manually editing the plist values associated with it had no effect,
and I'm absolutely certain I'm changing them properly, and I'm
definitely editing the correct plist file. I basically gave up and
used VueScan which I'd actually bought a few years back to use with
another difficult scanner. Turned out to be a worthwhile investment,
that's for sure.
If I find any free scanning solutions I'll post them.

Nope, sorry, but that dialog will keep popping up on you. I
personally have no problems with that, probably because i can't
afford buying Vuescan and besides i don't know if i should buy
vuescan or vuescan pro.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible
to get at or repair.
