'hi Sandra, I wrote the developer to find out about the voice command option, but have not heard back yet. With the standscan, it always says no page visable, even though it works perfectly. I also asked the developer to consider adding an option to have the OCR done automatically instead of having to do the recognition step for each page. I need to spend more time with it, but it seems to handle paragraphs much better now.
