Thanks Anne. I decided to go with ABBYY and I was very pleasantly surprised to find it could scan directly from my HP CM3320NF scanner/printer device. Just took a quick test with it and seemed to do ok. I am not sure though if it was having issues with the text or there was foreign language on t

Abbyy fine reader express can be used directly with some scanners. the problem is, how to know which scanners those are prior to purchase and finding out yours isn't one such. And you can't adjust the settings for brightness etc. For these and a host of other reasons, no, it is not like Kurzwei

Hello Justin, I'm pretty sure your scanner won't work directly with ABBYY FineReader. However, you can use Image Capture which is in your Applications folder, or purchase VueScan, which is what I use. Whichever method you choose, you open the resulting file with ABBYY FineReader where you sele

Hello Andy, Some scanners work directly with ABBYY FineReader, but my two Canon scanners do not. This is why I use VueScan, something I've been doing for a number of years now and I'm too old to change my ways! I create a TIFF file with VueScan and set all TIFF files to open with ABBYY FineRea
