Thanks everyone for all of your suggestions. I definitely have more info that will be useful for making recommendations.
One thing I discovered in checking out OCR apps is that most seem to be liking the Text Detective more than the Prizmo. I've not used either yet so I need to check them out.

Hello,
Looking for advice regarding what folks are doing nowadays with scanning things such as mail, handouts, small pamphlets and such. What are differences between standard OCR software and ones specifically for blind users (Open Book and Kurzweil), in terms of how well they work with JAWS and how accessible they are in general. Also, given the price of Open Book with the Pearl Scanner from FS, is it worth recommending them for a client when VR doesn't think they are worth the money? Hope this is making sense. Thanks for your suggestions.

I personally still prefer the Kurzweil 1000 package. I have the
Prismo and Omoby apps on my iPhone but I only use them for
business cards and quick information.
I'm not sure what you mean by, "VR doesn't think they are worth
it." Are you referring to the client or the software/hardware?
Fine Reader, as a standalone package, has been used successfully
by blind people but it is generally not accessible. Omni Page
used to be usable from within Microsoft Word 2007, from the adins
tab on the ribbon. I'm not sure how or if it works in Word 2010.
Again, though you can scan using Omni Page from within Microsoft
Word 2007 you want have full functionality. Your editing,
navigation, and all the rest are done in Word not the scanning
package. This is not necessarily a deal breaker depending on the
level of the client and their specific needs.

Hi. Personally, these days I'm using DocuScan Plus from Serotek. It may not
be as feature-rich as Kurzweil 1000 or OpenBook, but it really does a great
job, and is available from anywhere that has a scanner and an Internet
connection. Also, there are no yearly fees to pay for updates. I still own a
version of K1000, but DocuScan Plus is really meeting my needs. It does
single pages, batch scanning, and PDF recognition, and those are the main
things I use my scanner for these days. If a client doesn't need anything
more than a way to scan and read books or regular documents, I personally
think that this is a great solution. I know some people are using some of
the mainstream scanning solutions too, but having never used those, I don't
know how they compare.

Oh Caroline, I'm really glad you mentioned DocuScan Plus. I'm
going to be purchasing that package in the next month for my
business. I completely forgot about it because I don't have it
yet. Do you own a scanner and if so what one are you using with
DocuScan?
Thanks

I'm a huge fan of the Canon LIDE series of scanners. They're small and
portable, but, at least in my experience, they're work horses. I don't keep
mine connected to this laptop at all times so can't remember exactly which
model I currently have, but I've had really good luck with all of them, and
their installation is uncluttered and straight-forward.

Hello Bonnie,
I know I have one of the less popular perspectives, when it comes to
VR? But, in my opinion, if you do not pared the client with the most
effective tool, you're doing him or her a disservice.
I could give more detail, or more examples, but I think that says it all.
Personally, I use DocuScan plus.
I have the Canon Cano scan light scanner that came with the package I
purchased from Serotek 4 years ago.
Because doc you scan is not the type of program that you can open,
push one button, and get a result, the user must arrowed through a
list, and make a choice, then listen through some directions, locate a
button and give more commands? Once the document has been scanned, the
user must navigate to the bottom of the page, and then find command
buttons for save? It does not have the traditional menu structure, and
some people simply cannot figure it out, or are not comfortable with
that much navigation. I have also found that some employers, will not
install DoccuScan because it is open source, can be downloaded from
the Internet, etc... And Would preferred installing something more
stable, and common, like open book.
If the tool meets the clients needs, it is worth it!

Though it is not politically correct to say such a thing, I'm not wild a
bout DocuScan Plus. I think it is great if your scanning needs are not
elaborate. I am a big fan of Kurzweil 1000 if the budget supports it for
those with advanced scanning needs. OpenBook and Perl is also good but know
that accuracy with the camera is less than with a scanner.

Kurzweil 1000 for college students especially due to PDF.
EZ OCR from EVAS is extremely simple.
We use ZoomText for our low vision so with ZT 10 the need for a scanner/OCR
is gone.

Hello,
Looking for advice regarding what folks are doing nowadays with scanning
things such as mail, handouts, small pamphlets and such. What are
differences between standard OCR software and ones specifically for blind
users (Open Book and Kurzweil), in terms of how well they work with JAWS and
how accessible they are in general. Also, given the price of Open Book with
the Pearl Scanner from FS, is it worth recommending them for a client when
VR doesn't think they are worth the money? Hope this is making sense. Thanks
for your suggestions.

I personally prefer DocuScan Plus myself. It seems to do a very good job of
PDF interpreting. In fact, I think it's better than most.
Regarding scanners, The Cannon LI series of scanners is awesome. Can't beat
that portability.
Both Kurzweil and Openbook, which are great OCR packages, are feature rich,
but most of which I never use.
Cordially,

Hi. Personally, these days I'm using DocuScan Plus from Serotek. It may not
be as feature-rich as Kurzweil 1000 or OpenBook, but it really does a great
job, and is available from anywhere that has a scanner and an Internet
connection. Also, there are no yearly fees to pay for updates. I still own a
version of K1000, but DocuScan Plus is really meeting my needs. It does
single pages, batch scanning, and PDF recognition, and those are the main
things I use my scanner for these days. If a client doesn't need anything
more than a way to scan and read books or regular documents, I personally
think that this is a great solution. I know some people are using some of
the mainstream scanning solutions too, but having never used those, I don't
know how they compare.

Hello Bonnie,
I know I have one of the less popular perspectives, when it comes
to VR. But, in my opinion, if you do not pared the client with
the most effective tool, you're doing him or her a disservice.
I could give more detail, or more examples, but I think that says
it all.
Personally, I use DocuScan plus.
I have the Canon Cano scan light scanner that came with the
package I purchased from Serotek 4 years ago.
Because doc you scan is not the type of program that you can
open, push one button, and get a result, the user must arrowed
through a list, and make a choice, then listen through some
directions, locate a button and give more commands. Once the
document has been scanned, the user must navigate to the bottom
of the page, and then find command buttons for save. It does not
have the traditional menu structure, and some people simply
cannot figure it out, or are not comfortable with that much
navigation. I have also found that some employers, will not
install DoccuScan because it is open source, can be downloaded
from the Internet, etc... And Would preferred installing
something more stable, and common, like open book.
If the tool meets the clients needs, it is worth it!

Yes, I'd agree with the work horse statement for the Lide
scanners. My Lide 70 is still working, although it's starting to
sound like it's on it's last leg.
That's why I asked what you are using.
Thanks

I'm a huge fan of the Canon LIDE series of scanners. They're
small and portable, but, at least in my experience, they're work
horses. I don't keep mine connected to this laptop at all times
so can't remember exactly which model I currently have, but I've
had really good luck with all of them, and their installation is
uncluttered and straight-forward.

Anyone have a favorite for a portable scanner not needing a computer? like
the KNFB or just an Apple product? Rather not go with the Apple because the
client has no desire for the extras. Just small in size; reasonable price
and is able to scan and read utility bills. I thought the ITouch or the
mini IPad for the price and size but knowing 99% of the features are not
being used just seems wrong.
Client is not very fond of OpenBook either.

I personally prefer DocuScan Plus myself. It seems to do a very good job of
PDF interpreting. In fact, I think it's better than most.
Regarding scanners, The Cannon LI series of scanners is awesome. Can't beat
that portability.
Both Kurzweil and Openbook, which are great OCR packages, are feature rich,
but most of which I never use.

Hi. Personally, these days I'm using DocuScan Plus from Serotek. It may not
be as feature-rich as Kurzweil 1000 or OpenBook, but it really does a great
job, and is available from anywhere that has a scanner and an Internet
connection. Also, there are no yearly fees to pay for updates. I still own a
version of K1000, but DocuScan Plus is really meeting my needs. It does
single pages, batch scanning, and PDF recognition, and those are the main
things I use my scanner for these days. If a client doesn't need anything
more than a way to scan and read books or regular documents, I personally
think that this is a great solution. I know some people are using some of
the mainstream scanning solutions too, but having never used those, I don't
know how they compare.

Hello,
Looking for advice regarding what folks are doing nowadays with scanning
things such as mail, handouts, small pamphlets and such. What are
differences between standard OCR software and ones specifically for blind
users (Open Book and Kurzweil), in terms of how well they work with JAWS and
how accessible they are in general. Also, given the price of Open Book with
the Pearl Scanner from FS, is it worth recommending them for a client when
VR doesn't think they are worth the money? Hope this is making sense. Thanks
for your suggestions.

I loved the newest ABiC unit, but it costs $2,500 or so. If your situation
permits it, I'd look around for a used KNFB reader since they do show up
from time to time.
