As I understand it the functionality in relation to scanning and virtual 
scanning in Office Tools has been partly transferred to the One Note 
application in the latest Office suite.

I have no experience of using One Note but note that that John Martin who  
produced the BlindTunes scripts for  iTunes and Jaws has also apparently made 
scripts to make One Note easier to use.
All the above came from listening to a  Freedom  Scientific Podcast but thought 
I would pass on my memory of this if it helps  you investigate further.
For myself I am holding off 365 until the Mac version becomes accessible later 
this year when I guess  it will then  make sense to upgrade both my Office on 
both windows and Mac Platforms at the same time as I believe the subscription 
will work on all platforms.
