I never heard of a "blind accessible" scanner. Scanners are scanners. their
just hardware devices that come with some generic utility function software
for copying, faxing etc that is generally useless and which I ignore. Their
neither blind friendly or unfriendly. It's the OCR software that utilizes
the scanner that needs to be accessible. I personally like Epson scanners.
I've always used them and had very little trouble. Currently I use an Epson
Perfection V33 scanner and ABBYY fine reader Sprint, or OmniPage for OCR
software. I get great OCR results with ABBYY and the Epson V33.

Subject: blind friendly flatbed scanners? any ideas?
hello everyone.
I seem to be running into the google too much information problem. I am
looking for a blind friendly scanner that will be supported under OS X (as
well as windows 7+ with jaws). I need this information for a technology
requisition. so far, I keep getting hits on scanners that are marketed under
the intel name (intel reader) and a number of canon models, HP, epson,
brother and others. unfortunately, looking at the sites for a lot of these
devices, there doesn't seem top be any reference to being blind accessible,
let alone being supported with either OS X (and voiceover) or windows (with
jaws).
some of the sites (like hp) have so many graphics that navigating them is
confusing.
any suggestions from here would greatly help my search. I really need to get
the ball rolling on this before the end of this month.
thanks.
-eric
