Actually I can already use OCR with nvda, but
you can only scan one screen at a time. Hit nvda control R I
think is the key stroke. It will then vertualise the window
and you can sometimes click on things on the screen, but if
it is a pdf I don't actually know how that would work.

Hmph, another reason to maybe not use jaws, to
be honest, if nvda could
have some scanner addon which could use finereader engine
and others I'd
probably buy it, I mean I'd like a standalone program to
but still.
It seems the best way forward is mainstream
software then.
I'd like to know if those that use omnipage
especially the later
versions and the ultimate version especially find it
better than abbyy
or whatever.
I have a user staying on abyy 12 because its
accessible, however, it
means I am using older software which will probably go out
of date.
There was a time 3 or so years back when the
network relied on dragon
naturally speaking and an offer/add came up from nuance
about omnipage
and a rediculous offer on ultimate but I never took that.

Open book hasn't been updated for years and
I don't think that FS is
planning on updating it any time soon.
