So what are some inexpensive OCR programs that work well with
Window Eyes. I have a new Win7 machine and a new HP printer with a
scanning program that will not read OCR. My old Dell printer would scan
to a word document and could be read by Window-Eyes, but the HP program
will not do this.
I really don't have $1,000 to spend on an OCR program but could really
use one.
Thanks for any ideas.

OK? And what if you happen to be the owner of OmniPage? Sure it could
do the trick as well. Or, I guess, even PaperPort.
In short, you need what is called an OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) software. And there is a few of them on the market. Some
more accessible, some far more expensive, some cheaper but still
accessible, and some useless.
Just for your information!

Nothing will help this unless you have Open Book or Kurzweil
1000. The reason is that these blank documents are scanned image
files and no screen reader will read them.
