[nabs-l] ScanSnap

[T. Joseph Carter]

Domonique,  I'd be getting the Mac version, so I wouldn't be using 
the Windows ScanSnap Manager or Organizer.  On the Mac, the software 
is a little less advanced, so you pretty much have to stitch together 
your own software workflow.  If you're doing that as a blind person, 
obviously you'll do it using components that are accessible.

That option exists for Windows too--but since the Windows version has 
slightly more advanced software such as ScanSnap Organizer, there's 
less need to build a custom workflow.  That's totally fine, since on 
the Mac there are a number of tools that serve that function by 
providing databases for PDF files.  Plus we've got AppleScript to 
chain together more complex workflows and Automator to make 
AppleScript something any user can do pretty easily.

The latest desktop model (S1500 or S1500M) works on Windows or Mac 
without hacks--if I get that one, I'll install the Windows ScanSnap 
Manager and ScanSnap Organizer and see how they work with Window 
Eyes.  I don't have JAWS, and my Window Eyes version is far from 
current at this point.
