Greetings All,

I am totally blind and want to scan documents (i.e. standard mail) such that 
that scanning process will convert the scanned document into a text, Word or 
HTML file so I can peruse that file to “read” it.

I currently have a Brother MFC L2685DW printer/scanner, but I find the “iPrint 
and Scan” software to be unnecessarily cumbersome.  I’m unable to discover the 
steps to scan a document and process the image into a “readable”  file of text, 
Word or HTML.  If anyone reading this can offer this I’ll be most appreciative. 
 I would prefer to use the Brother for this if there is a efficient way to use 
that scanning software.

However, I’m certainly willing to buy a different brand of printer/scanner that 
would provide much simpler conversion software.  When I was using a MS-Windows 
PC I had an HP model that offered very accessible and efficient software to 
convert a scanned document into text files.  The point here is that I’m 
receptive to suggestions to printer/scanners that do come with such 
“blind-friendly" scanning software and appreciate any suggestions in the vain.

Thanks to all for their time reading this message!
