Well let me chime in here since I did purchase a copy and not sure if I'll keep it or what. It seems to work well, but my scanner is a multifunction machine that is connected to the network. I can scan using the HP Scan Pro software that was bundled, but ABBYY Fine Reader can't cope with this arrangement and causes the HP software to crash. After talking to tech support, I got nothing of value for help accept perhaps maybe it could be addressed in the future. I could of course scan everything to images and let ABBYY Fine Reader Express take on the task of converting as a work-around, but not sure if I'm in love with this idea either. So, just be warned that if you choose this program, you dont' want to be using a networked scanner. I have not tried with Read Iris, but something tells me this may also be true. As far as the interface and scan results, it does seem to work well and look around, you might find a discount coupon for it. Apparently other manufacturers are interested or are licensing their scanning engine, so they must be pretty good. :) On Aug 19, 2009, at 3:27 PM, a radix wrote:
