[Trainer-talk] OCR and MultiLanguage Documents

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Erin:

     In Kurzweil, go to the settings, recognition and check more than one
language. Hopefully this will help. 

Regards,

Robert

Subject: [Trainer-talk] OCR and MultiLanguage Documents

Good Morning all,
I know we've talked recently about pros and cons of various OCR software
packages, but wondered if anyone had thoughts on which one best handles
languages other than English.
In this particular case, the client is a novice technology user, documents
may include English and Portuguese on the same page, and the client is
totally blind so will need to read them with text to speech.
At CSUN, I saw the ReadIt Wand from GW Micro scan and read a multi-language
document automatically, but am a little reluctant to trade the feature set
of Kurzweil or Open Book for something that has primarily low vision
oriented features.
Thanks much for any thoughts you can provide.
