Hello Donna, I am a user of DocuScanPlus and I have also used EyePal for Mac with varying amounts of success. Unfortunately, I can't say that I enjoy using either solution since they both have tremendous drawbacks. Although DocuScanPlus has some nice features, it requires an internet connection to really be usable. EyePal for Mac isn't really a Mac application and doesn't behave like one. Although it does a good job of processing print text, the UI seemsreally clunky and inefficient since ABISee is using Wine to create a Windows like environment to run the application. Overall, I've found the EyePal application to be more of a memory hog and less stable than what I would expect from such a high priced solution. Just my thoughts
