Re: Step by step or tutorial on Abby Fine Reader

2014-07-02 Thread Juaanita Marttin
Thanks for the good info.  Just one more question:
Where is the help option?  Also, the program asks if I want to register it?  If 
I say yes, is there a way to find the serial number which I bet they ask for, 
without sighted assistance?

 folks with low-vision, dyslexia and other print disabilities not related to 
 total blindness, I’ve found that much of the K3000 application can be 
 accessed with keyboard shortcuts and menu options. It will import PDF files 
 and OCR them if necessary, import from a scanner using TWAIN drivers, and 
 read out loud from within the app instead of needing to open the resulting 
 scan in a different app for reading. Of course, like it’s K1000 sibling, it 
 is not inexpensive and is priced significantly higher than either ABBYY 
 FineReader Pro or Docuscan Plus. A trial version can be downloaded from the 
 following Kurzweil URL:

Hello Juaanita,

The Help menu is located in the Menu Bar.
When I registered FineReader Pro on my Mac it was done through an accessible 
webpage and it did ask for the serial number, which on my system is available 
through the “About FineReader” pane.

HTH,
Bryan

Re: Abby Fine Reader

2014-06-23 Thread Bryan Jones
Hello Ian,

I’m not sure what hardware ABBYY recommends, but I've been using a Canon PIXMA 
MX922 MFP and have had no issues using it in conjunction with ABBYY FineReader 
Pro. I connect my Mac and other computing devices via Wi-Fi and am able to scan 
from the flatbed and the ADF. The ADF’s duplex function also works fine.

On the downside, this model Canon does not provide a very accessible hardware 
interface and will likely require sighted assistance during initial setup.

HTH,
Bryan

Maybe it is one of these pages that it looks like nothing happened but the
