Hello May, I would strongly advise against ReadIris. The setting to correct page orientation has to be reset every time you launch the application. If you scan the left-hand and right-hand pages at the time, it regularly gets them the wrong way round, making nonsense of the text. It also has a limitation of 50 pages, that is, 50 images at a time.
Abbyy FineReader, on the other hand, is extremely good. There is no limitation on the number of pages to be processed at one time, it can recognise up to 3 languages in one document and is cheaper than ReadIris. If your scanner is not supported by Abbyy FineReader, you can always use Image CApture, which comes with your Mac, but which I find a bit laborious to use, or purchase VueScan which does a very good job and is easy to use. Prices: ReadIris Pro 12 - $129 Abbyy FineReader Express - $89 VueScan - $39 for one year, $79 for life.
