I am using Window-Eyes 7.5, IE 8, and Windows XP SP3. The Nuance PDF Reader
installer wouldn't install. I got the message that the program has encountered
an error and needs to close. I closed Esset Smart Security 4.2 and had the same
results. I E-mailed Nuance support and await a response. Has anyone else
experienced this? I realize it is probably not a Window-Eyes issue.

Hi,
Nuance pdf reader is free and offers an option to convert pdf files
containing image data into text files.
Just check this out. You cannot read pdf files with this programm as it does
not make pdf files accessible, but you can open the programm and convert any
pdf file to a text file.
This file then will be send to you via email.
hope that helps.
cheers
Martin

Abby Finereader is cheap and very good and fast. Version 10 ist the newest
one, but you can get Version 9 for about $50 on ebay or Amazon. I use it myself
since years.

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

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.
