Hello Lynn, I have not been able to test ocr on the mac yet although this is very important to me as well because I scan my own books for school. Hp has yet to release a driver for my scanner for sl though. The 3 choices regarding non-blindness specefic ocr software seem to be: 1. abbyy finereader (they released a version of their software for snow leopard I am not sure if you can also download a demo now, you could not in the past). 2. readiris pro 12 3 vuescan (people seem to use it as a bridge to finereader because it has many scanners in its database, they use vuescan to scan the documents and readiris to do the ocr).
