Clifford, Details will probably differ according to the scanning software on your pc, but with my epson 2580, it's as follows:
Of course, your scanner's drivers must be installed for this to work. Go into the programs submenu, usually reachable by pressing p from start menu. Then select epson scan [or relevant] sub menu and enter. Enter on first option: Epson scan. Select your installed scanner if it's not already selected, tab to OK and enter. Then I seem to lose focus, but you should land on, or switch to the window entitled: file save settings. I think the default save file location is my pictures, but press the browse button to check or change and enter on ok. Tab through the options and adjust them as needed. Where it says filename prefix, it's the title you want for the document. The number spinbox is probably sequencial pages, but I'm not sure. Image format type, I was told jpg is good quality but smaller size than pdf, but this is up to one's choice. The open image folder after scanning, is helpful if one has sighted assistance to check whether the scan was accurately performed. Confirm with OK. I've used this method to scan certificates and court orders and had a reliable sighted person checking the accuracy of the scans. This method renders better accuracy than the image scan option with exact view kept, in Openbook 7.02.

I think what you suggest will likely work for me. I won't be able to confirm until I can try it at home though. I looked in the Accessories menu and found the Scanning and Camera Wizard. It was easy to follow the prompts to set the type of file and where to save the scanned files. I'll give it a try this evening. Thanks for enlightening me.

I cannot verify this at work.

If I jump it would be for the standard version. I'm really only looking for the ability to scan and capture images for sharing with family and friends.

Omnipage 16 is fully accessible with Jaws, but it is a very advanced ocr program, so how user friendly it is, is a question of understanding the settings interface. The program exists in two versions, a standard version and a Professional version, the last one is for though who wants to create audio books directly from the scanned material. Best regards from Hans Pauli. ----- Oprindelig meddelelse ----- Fra: "Blackwell, Clifford" <[email protected]> Til: <[email protected]> Sendt: 31. marts 2009 20:51 Emne: [JAWS-Users] Accessibility of Omnipage 16 Is Omnipage 16 accessible with Jaws? I need a scanning/ocr program for scanning pictures and other visual documents to be sent to others. Open Book and Kurzweil might work, but aren't really intended for such things. If there are problems using Omnipage 16, are there other scanning programs that would suit my purposes? Thanks.
