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.
