Changing the subject I see that you are an EyePal user as well, Josh.
Are you using Mavericks?
#Researching on Google I see that there is supposed to be a version of X11
which "installs on demand under Maverick".
Humanware were useless when I tried to find out whether the Eyepal will work
under Maverick.
I got exactly the same response before I upgraded to Mountain Lion. In the end
I had to identify an alternative X11 utility on the web which worked with
EyePal on the Mac but no thanks to Humanware or the Developers who contributed
precisely zilch.
I have contacted Sarotech and Computer Room Services to ask if there is any
possibility of the EyePal Camera working with Docuscan in the same as Kurzweil
does on the Windows Platform.
Again no response. I suspect that one of us will simply have to take the plunge
and upgrade to see if will work.
I will certainly not recommend that anybody gets a product from abisee
again, and possibly Humanware as the follow up driver support is dreadful and
the software has gene consistently buggy over several versions.

Subject: Re: DocuScan Plus And The Cloud
Dane, I have to agree with Gordon here, I don't have this program but I think
how it works is when you scan a document, it is initially sent to the cloud to
be converted to text. If this is indeed the case, I can see where he is coming
from. If not, my apologies, I'm not exactly well-versed in OCR solutions. I
have eyepal, which has since kind of become useless since nobody has come up
with a version of X11 for Mavericks yet. Or not that I know of anyway
