Do you know what is on the page that you are scanning? Maybe there is a graphic on it. Have you tried scanning different hardcopies and gotten the same results?
Maybe you should type something up in MS-Word, or whatever is your word processor and print it out. Then scan it back in and see what kind of results you get. I use text Cloner Pro and have not had any problems with it, or my Cannon LiDE80 scanner.

Ever since then, my OCR software is not working correctly. It will only pick up a few words on a page and the rest is scrambled letters and numbers. I don't use Open Book. I have Text Cloner Pro, but have also noticed that in Microsoft Office when I try to use its Character Recognition, it also scrambles the page whether I'm scanning a document, or trying to read a .TIF file. I am using XP Pro, an EPSON Scanner and JAWS 8 and 9,. I have both versions of JAWS on my computer and have tried both with no success. Any ideas on what my problem may be? Thanks for any help.
