Hi, Thanks for sharing that information about OmniPage 16 with us. I was a little nervous when I upgraded to version 15, but as you said, that one works very well with Jaws.
I was considering version 16, but after reading your post, that is no longer an option. I suppose that any future scanning upgrade is going to be a different hardware/software.
