Hi Anne, Oh, that's interesting. When I bought my MacBook, I thought that at one point Omnipage had a version for the Mac. But then when I went to my Apple store to get my Macbook, they had a list posted of aps for the Mac, and Omnipage wasn't on it. Good to know that I wasn't imagining the fact that they did have a Mac version at one point.
I admire your scruples about chopping books, but for better or for worse, I don't have them. :) I just don't have the patience to stand there and feed books a page at a time. Fortunately, I also have friends who are happy to take my chopped books, so at least they still have a life once I'm done with them. So, if ReadIris 12 is a disaster, can one still get an older version? Also, if one does get an earlier version, is there any way to initiate a scan that is slightly less complicated than the one Krister seems to use?
