 Hi,
 All,

 I'm very exited to post the lates news from inside the VIPBC.org
 conference table if you will.

 We plan to have a free scanner softwear out over the summer code
 named
 Raspberry Reader. It will be based on our in-testing provend VIP-
 Toolkit technology. It will run on the Mac with full support for
 Voiceover.

 Thanks,
 Alex,

Re: Raspberry Reader set to launch after the summer

2009-03-26 Thread John J Herzog

Hi Alex,
Will raspberry reader have drivers from the twain sane project  
incorporated into it? For those that don't know, twain sane is an  
effort  to get most compatible twain scanners working on mac, even if  
there is no official driver. It sounds cool, but I have no clue how to  
compile things despite reading the directions. I assume many others  
would have this problem too, and would have scanners only officially  
supported in windows that they'd want to use for mac.

Just a suggestion,

John

Hi,

It will be able to handle PDFs hopefully, and also documents directly  
off flatbed and document feeding scanners. As for an engine it uses  
Multi-Scan processing capabilities.

Thanks,

Re: Raspberry Reader set to launch after the summer

2009-03-25 Thread Ryan Mann

I have a few questions about your scanning software.  What types of  
documents will the program be able to read?  Will it have something  
like Buck Scan in Open Book?  What OCR engine will you be using with  
your software?  The engine that Open Book uses has really good  
recognition.  When I scan documents in Open Book, they come out really  
good.  What about PDF documents that are actually scanned images.   
What will the program do with these?
Thanks.

hey. Still working like a mad girl on the espeak project... it is not  
as much ... if it works more... can the blonde see the logic behind  
the madness?
Greg I'll assure you ill cheer up more than usual when it works but  
the examples simply dont make sense. Or if they do i am missing the  
logic but as i said... still working on it :)

Hi,

Not yet as I can't get a hold of Sandi lately.

Greg, our problem with Raspberry is developers. We are short and we  
hope to fix this by having trainees on board this summer. But as  
always we can never have enough developers.

Thanks for the feature request. We shall look into page orientation.

Thanks,
Alex,

Alex;

I would be very interested in this. In particular if it can deal with  
page orientation so that the user does not need to know which way to  
put the page into the scanner.

Also how is your e-speak voices project going? Can they now be used as  
regular Mac voices?

We plan to have a free scanner softwear out over the summer code named
