Hi everyone, Apologies for the off topic. Please feel free to reply directly to me. I'm looking for an alternative OCR option to Kurzweil. I have a copy of K1K, but for long-winded reasons I need to find a simple, bare-bones program that will turn a scanned image into text with as few frills as possible. Also, it needs to work well with Jaws. Oh, and the word of the day is inexpensive, of course. Any suggestions? Thanks, Shayla -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
