Hi, We have been kicking around the idea of getting a couple of new macs for a couple of weeks now since bothour pc's are not working that great anymore. The main thing that is holding us back is our heavy reliance on Kurzweil. I am a grad student and we also use k1000 for scanning our mail daily. I know we could either do a duel boot system or run a virtual machine and then can use k1000 this way on the mac, but I wanted to ask knowledgable folks first about this before we jumped in.
We heard about another kurzweil product that is for the mac, but it's not self voicing, and I don't know if vo works with it. Does anybody have any mac specific solutions that work well for scanning text books? For scanning the types we all get in the post? I use the bookmark features in k1000 quite a lot, plus the dictionary a lot and have preferred it a lot for the proof reading I do for book share over ms word. Oh, that's actually another question, we were told that pages actually isn't that great or useable... Lots of this info is coming from people who don't use vo regularly. For us, though, this scanner stuff is the only thing standing in the way. We do have a old power book, but it's the old non intel mac, so we're stuck running leopard on it, can't do a virtual machine or anything on it, it doesn't support the magic track pad, and we can't upgrade to snow leopard or anything beyond what we already have on it(we already called apple about it). Any help or anything would be appreciated! Thanks, Caitlyn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
