Thanks Anne. I decided to go with ABBYY and I was very pleasantly surprised to 
find it could scan directly from my HP CM3320NF scanner/printer device. Just 
took a quick test with it and seemed to do ok. I am not sure though if it was 
having issues with the text or there was foreign language on the same page, so 
going to check with my wife, but the words I could recognize seemed fine.
