It's actually vuescan. A Google search should get the page for it. It's very accessible with VO but many on the list use it in conjunction with Readiris which does a better job of OCR than vuescan. Vuescan however scans well into image. So people scan into image first and than use Readiris to recognise into text.
Both programmes will cost you some moeny. Vuescan can be tried for free. Readiris I think you need to buy. With best wishes, Simon P.S. Sorry you had to spend money on a bad product. It happens to all of us.
