Open Book & Jaws 18 problem solved


Laura Richardson
 

I did check the connections for the scanner and they were intact but when I unplugged the scanner from the USB hub and plugged it back in it worked …… Yay!  I do wish my being independent was not reliant upon this one device.

 

Thank you all so very much for your help!

I have a 60 inch TV that I can run my IPhone or computer through.  For some unknown reason the HDMI connections didn’t work.  What to do?  I just unplugged the TV and then plugged it back in and, poof, everything worked again.  So, sometimes just unplugging a device then plugging it back in fixes the problem.

I've used Omnipage for years with different screen readers, both Jaws and NVDA included with no problem. What advantages does Openbook have over Omnipage for such a ridiculous price tag? $1000 for an OCR program is far beyond my reach.

I have not used OnniPage for years and years. When I tried it, the work arounds to use a screen reader were a lot of work.
I have to admit, I didn't have to buy OpenBook originally, just paid for a few, very early upgrades, then got on the beta team, so It hasn't been a financial burden for me.
But, if I were starting from scratch today, I would use OCR on my iPhone and not bother with the computer.
What version of OmniPage are you using and what work arounds do you have to do?
Thanks,
Richard
