Assuming you already have it installed, and you have a scanner already installed on your system. Let us also assume you are just reading your mail, and not trying to get any complete accuracy with it, than you can use the program I mentioned above. If you have Microsoft Office 2000 or above, in the Start menu, under Microsoft Office submenu, you'll see a submenu called Microsoft Office Tools. In there, you'll see a program called Microsoft Office Document Scanning and Document Imaging. The former is the one you want to use. Once open, you can change the settings to scan with more DPI for accuracy, or with less DPI for speed. Once the document is scanned, you can send the scanned document to Microsoft Word, and you can read or edit it, depending on what you want to do with it. The Scanning program and Imaging Program uses TIFF files, which I mentioned in a previous post about faxes. Depending on your scanner and how much junk you have on your computer, the process could take 30 seconds or 3 minutes. In any case, it's a great deal cheaper than getting most text to speech converters. If you aren't interested in how much money you spend than I would recommend you buy Omnipage or Omnipage Pro. Both are very accessible and both interface with a myriad of other word processing applications, like Word, WordPerfect and Adobe Acrobat. You have more flexibility in what you can do, such as filling out forms and creating PDF documents and stuff most sighted people can do. I also have an Omni Page Pro from the keyboard tutorial which I can send to anyone who needs it. Not only does it cover Omni Page, but it covers the basics of scanning and it's accessibility. Let me know if you would like it David, and I'll send it to you and maybe you can post it. They are in text format, which can be read by notepad, WordPad and most other word processing applications. anyway, that's my two cents worth.
