  Hi
all, I don’t know much about full scanning
OCR options. I was just reading a bit about
pearl and open book from Jaws. Does the Mac
have solutions like that? One main thing I
want is the ability to know if my reading
material is right side up. I also like the
idea of the layout of the page remaining
intact. Tables, columns, etc. Thanks for
educating me. :) Traci -- The following

Personally I just use OCR for images or PDFs I need to turn to text. I never 
need to actually scan.

If I did, I think I’d get a picture with my phone and transfer it to my 
computer. I don’t do it enough to need a scanner.
