I've been using OmniPage for many years, and while it's not perfect, it's a lot cheaper than paying a "blindness tax" for specialty software such as K1000 Just my thoughts. Matthew Chao >>> "Baracco, Andrew W" <[email protected]> 4/11/2013 12:04 PM >>> They cost around $1000. There are cheaper OCR programs, but I do not know how well they work with screen readers.
