  Hello Carolyn,

or any suggestion of affordable ocr software?

  I would strongly recommend Abbyy FineReader. It is easy to use, gives 
excellent results and can handle up to 3 languages in one document.

  Readiris Pro 12 is more expensive, difficult to install and register, has 
important settings that do not stick from one execution to the next and is 
distinctly buggy.

  I have purchased both applications and feel that Readiris was a waste of 
money!

  With both applications, it is often necessary to use another application for 
scanning since not all scanners are supported. I use VueScan to capture the 
images, but you can also use Image Capture.

  Cheers,

  Anne
