[Athen] Tutorial for scanning and preparing documents for use with JAWS

[Maria Bohn]

Hi Robert! We have a Canon hi speed scanner and then convert using ABBYY
Finereader Pro - )Im not even 100% sure that¹s the best method so any tips
welcome) - the work was handed over to me and I do it the way the person
who preceded me taught me except I was able to secure ABBYY - he used
Kurzweil which we still have but I was frustrated with that software on
the slow computers and scanners we had (we now have updated scanners and
computers in the lab room).
