Hi all,
In our talks about updating the website and the manual, it has occurred to me
that there is a lack of information for potential volunteers interested in
scanning but with no knowledge of AT software or technology. Has anyone had any
experience with this? I know that many scanners can have built-in OCR software,
but that you can also use a scanner without the built-in software so long as
there is OCR software (such as ABBYY fine reader) installed on your computer.
Since this software is pricy for someone who just wants to scan books but would
not otherwise use such software, I am very curious if anyone has encountered
these kinds of questions before or had any related personal experiences.
Thanks,
Madeleine Linares
