Hello Erik, I can get ABBYY FineReader to recognise my Canon Lide 700F portable USB scanner, but it's a bit fiddly. I find it much easier and more effective to use VueScan to do the scanning and FineReader to do the OCR.
VueScan produces beautiful images and FineReader does an almost perfect job with OCR. I set VueScan to produce TIFF files and set TIFF files to always open with ABBYY FineReader. In this way, I launch VueScan, scan as many pages as I need, then FineReader is launched automatically. I've set a shortcut for "Convert to Text Document", so all I then have to do is enter the file name and where to put it. It all sounds much more complicated than it really is. I've demonstrated this scanning procedure to very sceptical Windows users and they were impressed by its quality and efficiency. I'll send you my user guide off list so you can see for yourself. cheers, Anne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
