I really don't know why you want to be combative. I realize that we
can't see the scan button, but if you have some one look at where you
are moving the mouse using the mouse keys, the button is there and all
you have to do is be able to count.

This driver is different, in that VO cannot see the scan button. Not
there at all, period. Even when using the mouse or mouse keys VO
doesn't see it. It's scangear version 12.30. The radio button, by
contrast, is accessible in this version but the settings won't save
until a scan is performed... which can't be done with VO, whether
you use the mouse or not. All configuration settings can be set
manually by editing the plist file, but the autoscan setting is the
only one that doesn't seem to take effect at all.

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.
