As I said in the subject, this is a Windows question, since I don't have a Greek synth for DOS and doubt this would even be possible.
I have some books with Greek and English on the same page. When I try to scan the pages with Cicero, I can only scan one language at a time. So if I'm on English, the Greek words won't come out properly and vise versa. I don't have the latest version of Cicero so this problem may have already been addressed. If not, then does anyone know of a package for XP that can do this? I've heard of SCAN2TEXT, but am not sure if it can handle two languages at once. I'd especially be interested in a program that could scan things in the polytonic system, as I'm intending on learning Katharevousa at some point and still need the system to read older texts in Dimotiki. On a related note, I'd be eternally grateful if someone could tell me of a synthesizer that can properly read polytonic Greek. ESpeak in NVDA has a wonderful modern Greek version that I use every day for self-taught lessons and general reading, even in English. But it doesn't seem to be able to read the older accents. Whenever I come across a text with them, it mispronounces the words and acts as if there's nothing there whenever I review the letters with the accents on them. But it works fine with the regular tonos... It has an Ancient Greek setting as well, but I need modern, and in any case, the ancient one won't let me review the letters in a word at all without acting strangely. Can the Apollo, assuming that I could even find one, be used for this purpose? I don't think Hal chas that ability but have to try it and see.
