I think that Docuscan from Serotek sells for about $400.

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. Brenda On 4/28/2011 10:03 AM, David wrote: 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.

The reason is that these blank documents are scanned image files and no screen reader will read them.
