I use Kurzweil. As others have said Open Book is another option. Both of
these are stand alone programs. You can scan material in and either of these
programs will read it to you. You can do a lot with them. If someone sends
you a pdf these programs will also scan and read them without a scanner.
ABBYY Fine Reader is an off-the-shelf product many people use. It is much
less expensive but doesn't have all of the features of Kurzweil or Open
Book. The last 2 years people have been able to buy Open Book for $75.00 at
the conventions. I think it will be on sale but the price probably won't be
near that low again.

Maryanne,
Thanks for reply. I understand the Document scanner, How to you understand
what you are reading or scanning into your computer? I understand these are
made for sighted people what do you use to know what you are scanning in?
Thanks, I am confused over these things.

When I purchase a scanner I purchase a document scanner. These are usually
relatively inexpensive. I can't answer your second question since I don't
use JAWS to read documents.

If someone can supply this help, it would be appreciated. I want to purchase
a scanner. Is anyone here using one is using one or knows about this I need
some help. My first question If using one, what type and is it Jaws
compatible? There are many scanners on the market but they will work but not
sure if Jaws will read what is scanned into computer if it is not in a file
Jaws will read. If anyone could give me advice it will help me very much.
Thanks.

Terry Knox
