But, it shouldn't mean that those who use English cannot recommend good
products just because they only support English. Remember, there are
probably a lot more folks on this list that use English than all other
languages combined.
Thanks for your time and consideration!

Once again, I must point out that DocuScan only handles English. If you use
any other language, this solution is not for you. Please remember that this
list is international!
Cheers,

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.

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
