Tim you should be fine as I think the Express version will continue to work with what you are doing just OCR documents it just will not work connecting to a scanner as I do have the read file option, just no longer have the Twain option to use with a scanner. > On Oct 12, 2016, at 2:53 PM, E.T.

Its not ridiculous, its business. We all would love to pay a one time fee and get a lifetime of free upgrades. If we worry about the off chance that at some point we will have to pay for an upgrade, we would still be using MS DOS. No, they do not MAKE a version incompatible with new OS u

Hmmm. Very interesting. I've used it multiple times over the last few weeks. Again, I've just opened existing scanned documents, but have had no issues. I hope it doesn't fail in the next little while. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Oct 12, 2016, at 12:38, Brian Fischler

Customer service got back to me and Express no longer works with Sierra you have to pay $80 to upgrade to pro which is ridiculous, as who knows when they will decide to make that version incompatible. Very disappointed with Fine Reader as I believe I paid $60 or more for the Express version. No

Hi, Yes, Express is working for me with Sierra. The difference, though, is that I've not ever used it with a scanner, so can't properly comment on that part of things. Usually, people have just sent me scanned documents, and I OCR them. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Oct 1

Express use to work fine but may they stopped supporting it. I have emailed their customer support but I find them to be useless. We shall see, I may just dump the product as I am not going to pay for the upgrade as it is ridiculous if they stopped making the Express version work with mac. If an

I’ve had no problems with my HP8500. I just checked it out to be sure. I’d suggest first making sure Image Capture will work with the scanner. If it does, you might want to try deleting Abby and then installing it again. If Image Capture isn’t working, be sure the scanner is being seen by the

Hey all, Since installing Sierra I have not been able to get Abby Fine Reader to work. I have done my research on this issue and it looks like Abby is not recognizing my scanner as it is only giving me the option to read from file, no Twain driver option. Does anyone know how to fix this as Abb
