Your best and most accessible scanning choice for the price is DocuScan
Plus. You can download a trial version from the App Store and register it
for a 7 day trial period. The price is $299 and gives you both the Apple
version and the QWindows version too, if you need it. It works well with
VoiceOver, is simple to use, has lots of power features for all kinds of
scanning, recognizing PDF files, and converting scanned text to RTF, TXT,
create MP3 file of the text, saving as a formated Braille file, and turn
scaned text into a Daisy book.
It can be used with a variety of scanners or you can purchase the HoverCam
digital camera that can be purchased along with the software from Sero Tech.

Subject: Scanners and OCR
Hello all,
Would like to get some advice on using scanners with a Mac (running Lion if
this is relevant). I occasionally need to scan printed documents to send by
email or for archival purposes. Does Mac OS have its own utility or app for
working with a scanner or are we reliant upon manufacturer's own
drivers/software (which, from past experience on Windows, is very hit and
miss as far as accessibility is concerned).
Also, what experience do people have of scanning a document and using OCR to
get VoiceOver (or whatever) to read out the contents of the document?
Cheers,
Mark
