[Electronics-Talk] OCR Scanner Recommendations

[Matthew Chao]

Hi, Bob.  Got the P-215 the other day, and will be working on it today. 
How well does it work out of the box?  Can I set up the functions with 
Jaws or NVDA?  Any tips appreciated.  Also, someone on this list 
mentioned a book cutting tool that one can get through Amazon.  Whoever 
you are, could you please get back to me on this?  Thanks in 
advance.--Matthew Chao
