Hi. I have a canoscan 9000f that works wonderful directly with finereader pro, I am really surprised that it is doing so fine. The size of the scanning ariea is a little bigger than a4, I do not know if that is what you call legal.
I have been playing a lot with my IPhone and taking pictures. I have then transfered them to my mac, and used finereader pro for OCR. I am using standscan, sometimes it is good enough quality, sometimes it is not. I have also tried using a camera, that was no good, simply to bad for a good recognition. I am still trying to find a way to take pictures with my IPhone to a specific folder, so that it would be easier when transfering to the mac, but I really can not find a program, that lets me create a folder for the pictures taken from a specific book. You can also use an opticbook scanner with vuescan, and when you can recognize with finereader, but I am not getting really good results that way, I have tried a lot of settings in vuescan, and something goes wrong, page numbers are missing and so on, but no problems with canoscan 9000f mark II directly in finereader pro. I hope you can use some of what I have been writing here. Best regards Annie.
