Hi Paul. In my opinion abbyy fine reader express can be used. But I have for many years been using fine reader professional in windows. Compared to that product the express edition is a little frustrating. But of course you can use the program, with ok results. It depends on what your are scann

Dear Paul, I've been using Abbyy FineReaderExpress for a few years in multilingual environment, and it is a very good piece of OCR software. I don't use it to scan my multilingual documents as my scanner is 11 years' old and thus incompatible with FineReaderExpress. But I use it for recognition
