Kurzweil 1000 software, which has been specifically designed for use by
Blind or Visually Impaired people, provides for scanning in French, German
and, for that matter, about 150 other languages (albeit speech engines are
not provided for every language). Speech support is provided for French,
German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, to name a few.
A 30-day demonstration CD is available if you would like one.

Subject: Re: Scanning German and French texts
We have two blind students students starting this term, one studying
French and one studying German. Both have requested texts on CD. We
started scanning a French text (using Textbridge scanning software) and
found that it made a lot of mistakes - to the point that it would take
about an hour a page to correct. As this is not feasible we wondered if
there was any scanning software available that would read French and
German accurately- or if any one had any ideas as to alternatives....
other than tape.
