Re: Step by step or tutorial on Abby Fine Reader
Thanks for the good info. Just one more question: Where is the help option? Also, the program asks if I want to register it? If I say yes, is there a way to find the serial number which I bet they ask for, without sighted assistance?

Re: Step by step or tutorial on Abby Fine Reader
Hello Juaanita, The Help menu is located in the Menu Bar. When I registered FineReader Pro on my Mac it was done through an accessible webpage and it did ask for the serial number, which on my system is available through the “About FineReader” pane.

Re: Step by step or tutorial on Abby Fine Reader
Hello Juaanita, I’m not aware of any specific tutorials, but the “FineReader Help” item in the App’s Help menu gives a pretty good overview of the various options and steps involved in scanning or importing and converting documents. Are there specific steps you are having trouble with? Also, you mentioned wishing there was a Mac version of K1000. Have you tried Kurzweil K3000? There is a Mac version of K3000 and, while it is designed for folks with low-vision, dyslexia and other print disabilities not related to total blindness, I’ve found that much of the K3000 application can be accessed with keyboard shortcuts and menu options.
