Hi Larry, I have outstanding success with Iris OCR software. It is mostly JAWS friendly strait from the box. The one place you may want help is setting the scanner type. There some boxes there one has to use the JAWS cursor to access. For instance duplex scanning. Once you have that set up, do an alt F. to bring up the file menu. arrow down to save default settings. press enter and follow the questions on the screen to save your scanner settings. You only need to go through this process once. To scan press control D. then answer the prompts. once you are don scanning press enter tab twice and press enter again. you should be on the main screen. then press control R. to recognize the text and save it to file. I have scanned countless text books for college this way. I love Iris OCR software. If there is any thing else I can do to help please let me know.

It comes bundled with Iris OCR software and wanted to find out if you guys had any success with that application. I am using JFW 9.latest and Windows-XP Pro.
