Hi Casey!
I've often thought about getting ABBY myself, but always hesitated because I didn't know how accessible it would be. How do you find it for accessibility?
Thanks!

Re: Microsoft default OCR engine with JAWS convenient OCR
I guess that it stops loading its own copy of Eloquence and ulets your screen reader handle it. It works, I just finished making the changes to both programs.

I wish they'd just use the ABBY Fine Reader engine for JAWS as well as Open Book.

Re: Microsoft default OCR engine with JAWS convenient OCR
The one thing I'd like to see FS do is to allow OB to use JAWS instead of its own TTS voice, it's annoying to have to adjust two voices when it could all be done with JAWS.

Re: Microsoft default OCR engine with JAWS convenient OCR
Maybe so, but I've gotten pure garbage from the JAWS default engine but got decent results from the same document from the Microsoft engine.
