Hi James,
ABBYY FineReader Express for the Mac is OCR software like Read Iris,
and is especially good at handling multi-language OCR and support.
Excerpted from the web page:
http://www.abbyy.com/finereader_for_mac/
"ABBYY FineReader Express Edition for Mac is a highly accurate and
easy-to-use multilingual OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software
designed specifically for Mac users. Based on ABBYY’s intelligent
document recognition technologies, FineReader Express for Mac quickly
turns any scanned paper document, PDF files and digital camera images
into editable and searchable formats while keeping the original layout
and formatting intact."
The one caveat is that you must have native drivers for your scanner,
which is not always available for old scanners under Mac OS X if the
manufacturers don't provide this. I just meant that since Josh is
getting a new scanner, it's possible that he can run FineReader on the
Mac side, and not just through Windows.
I've been meaning to post the trial link earlier, but have been
backlogged. (I did manage to send this link to the mac-access link
before they went through their recent upgrade to a new server and
address.) Once again, the 15-day free trial link is:

Cheers,

Hi list,
Having read Esther's post on Abbey Fine Reader Express for Josh, I
am a little confused. I have heard people mention Abbey Fin Reader
Expres on here before, and was under the impresion that it was a
fully functional all-singing al-dancing application which even
provied multi-language support. Is this true, or am I having a bad
memory day?
Thanks
