What happens when you push the scan button the machine itself? That's what I do, then open the saved imagewith Abby then do my conversions, but my Kodak has a fairly accessible scangear, so I can interact with it and tell it where to save it and what file type I want which I now have them as defaults so the only thing I need to do with that is to just name the file, or leave it's on there. Push the button on machine and computer starts talking and I am still using Tiger, so your later aditions should work, the only thing I can't actually do is to fax something, part of that is missing since again I have Tiger here.

Save up for a new machine I guess, maybe before the year is up can have me a new cat around here barring some sort of house repair, which I'm sure this place will come up with some for me to have to fix and pay for this year *lol.*

Hi Steph,

I too am using tthe tryal version of FineReader express and have never gotten it to work, so this suggestion may be worth every penny you paid for it :).

Disclaimer aside, I believe you need to select your scanner in the menu associated with "get images from". If your only choice is "file" then either you don't have a Twane scanner, or the software supporting your scanner is not recognized by ABBYY. Once your scanner is selected, pressing a button such as: "convert to text document" should activate your scanner. Except on my system where it consistently hangs up even though I have a twane compatible device.

Hope you get further than I have so far.
Geoff

Hi again,
Sorry for all the questions but i am a new user. I got abbyy working but can't find a scan button. There are convert options, and a thing to ask where to get the immage from. It is set to file and there are other options in the menu that pops up when i click it. but vo won't read the items. What's the easist way to scan a document?
Thanks,
Steph
