Hello. I am running Windows in a boot camp partition without Snow Leopard and I
have sound. I had to install drivers from the mac os installation cd after
installing Windows. I printed the Bootcamp Installation Guide wich contains the
procedures. I needed sighted assistance to get this done.
Hi.
There is also readiris for the mac, but it is not as accessible with VoiceOver
as it has been.
I have tried that finereader express, I am not very impressed with that.
Best regards Annie.

Hi Steve,
If you read braille, the Getting Started Guide for VoiceOver is available from
Lighthouse International in San Francisco. The reference to Vision Australia

Hello Joanne,
I use the combination of VueScan and ABBYY FineReader for scanning and OCR on
the Mac. I get excellent results from this arrangement.
VueScan costs around $79 US and ABBYY FineReader around $90 US.
The setup process is a bit fiddly, but once it's done, everything works
smoothly.

I got my Mac about 10 days ago and have been running Virus Barrier in

Thanks in advance.

You should only need anti virus if you have windows on that side!
Unless someone else says other wise at the moment there is no need on the Mac

It's a variation on the NOD32 product.
