I couldn't see the results of the scan. I suspect that I didn't quite understand what I needed to do to get that to happen. Can you both scan and recognize with abby? or do I need both programs for this? I thought I had to scan with vu scan and then use abby to recognize the scan. It's been a while since I tried. I finally gave up and went back to k1000 since I have school to deal with and reams of texts to muddle through. thanks heaps, Cait
