You need software. You can try docuscan plus, which is cloud-based, and only scans English. You can try Abbyy fine reader Pro from the app store. It costs less, does foreign languages, and there is an extensive list of scanners which it directly supports. Or you can try running Windows on your Mac and continuing to use open book. In order to do that, you will need to run either Boot Camp, or you will need to purchase a program that will let you run a Windows "virtual machine". There are partisans of both of those solutions. The cheapest is Abbyy fine reader, which is $100 in the Mac app store. There is a learning curve with that. Mary
