    I may have to check this out. It’d be nice to not have to use OpenBook every time I want to read a printed book. Hopefully, there’s a free-trial version. If it’s as good as Finereader, I’ll be buying.

    I am glad to see more third party applications compatible with VoiceOver, especially OCR. I will check this out; it could be useful even for the visually impaired like myself. I understand that Adobe is committed to porting Acrobat to the Cocoa frameworks, so maybe in the future there will be partial or complete compatibility with VoiceOver for Acrobat, which definitely would helpful to the visually impaired.
