Hey Scott,
let me know what you come up with. i thought that the full version of
OP was very friendly with VO. in fact i found it to be more friendly
than VO by itself. one problem that i had with VO was getting to read
the whole document without having to wait till it stops reading and
then advance to the next page and start the reading again. with OP
when you tell it to read the whole document it just does and doesn't
stop until it reaches the end of the document.
good luck and let me know what you find.

Ok Pete, thanks a lot. Geez your making me give this more thought
than I was before. Having the ability to choose those areas sounds
interesting and how you'd do that is even more fascinating. So I
gather dealing with OP isnt' to bad, I sure wish the SE version
gave a better feel for the full version, but at first look it
appears to be more a bummer than anything else. I'm hoping a new
version of OP will be out and maybe if we can get to them early in
the game, they'll do something about making it more VO friendly. I
plan to dig into this you can bet.
tnx

np Scott,
i started out using RI too, but there is so much more you can do
with OP, like zoning out only the sections that you want to have
read, you can even have OP read your scanned document and it
reads it in the order you have it zoned, it uses the Macs built in
Voice Over to do this. and you can save it in many formats for
other programs to open. if you have any questions once you start
using OP feel free to use me, i'll help where i can.

Thanks Pete. I am currently using Read Iris which as far as I can
tell is doing a good job, but there are some features in Omni
Page I'm interested in. I might consider trying it seeing as how
they have a 30-day return policy so at least if it really is a
drag, I can return it and no hard feelings.grin

Hey Scott,
I have used OmniPage. so far i have had pretty good luck with
it. you do have to work with it some, by that i mean you have to
select the zones and the format of the zones, but even that is
not to hard to do. i wish some one would write some ocr software
that would read my mind and do exactly what i want it to do
without any work on my part, but maybe some day!!! i guess the
only complaint that i have with it so far is that i am just to
lazy.
please feel free to ask any questions, don't know if i will have
the answers but i will try.
Pete
