Re: Omnipage Ultimate, Windows 10 & JAWS

I also did not care for the level of accessibility of OmniPage 18 as a standalone application. However, I found that the Word plugin was very accessible, and this is how I primarily use OmniPage. Go to the Nuance tab on the ribbon UI and select Acquire Text. Works great for OCR.

Are you trying to use OmniPage as a standalone app?

Suddenly my Omnipage 17 no longer works with Windows 10. Previously, I tried Omnipage 18, which did not play well with JAWS. Is anyone using Omn. Ultimate (V19)?
Thanks

Well, we’re getting pretty far off topic here. But I don’t see why you’d need multiple copies of Office. If you’ve already got it running on your Windows system, then just use it on your Windows system.

There are some tasks that non-Windows systems are better suited for. Setting up a web server, for example, is tons easier on a Mac or Linux machine than on a Windows system, in my experience. I find that the benefit of using the right computer for a project far outweighs the cost of learning different operating systems.

Your mileage may vary.

Why would you want to spend the money and time learning and running
two totally different OS's?Nothing between the two are compatible. You
would have to buy two versions of your software. Windows for instance would be a 100.00 purchase then Office for each OS and so on. Just doesnt make sense to me. :) Not saying that that matters People are free to do as they please! :) Just wondering. ;) On 10/15/2017 6:04 PM, Paul Martz wrote:
maybe I’m stating the obvious, but the reason to buy a Mac is so that you can run both Mac OS X and a second (or third) operating system via Bootcamp or parallels. I don’t think anyone is suggesting that you buy a Mac, wipe it, and run Windows as the sole OS.

What is the reason for buying a Mac? If you just want too run windows on it you will spend way more money going this route and wont see any better performance.

Hi there everyone. Thanks for answering my question. If I get a Mac and install Jaws on the Windows side how can I make my keyboard work like a Pc? Or would you recommend to get a Microsoft Keyboard? What would you say about the Touch screen Support in Jaws with regards to the Mac? Is it sensitive enough and if I get the Mac with a Touch Bar what is the recommendation in this situation for installing Jaws?
