Hello Søren, ABBYY FineReader for the Mac is an Express version and has no preferences. However, I find it does a very good job for French and English, and it automatically rotates the image if necessary.
Which Canoscan Lide have you got? I can make FineReader work with my Canoscan Lide 110, but it's much messier and less effective than using VueScan to get the images. Also, I haven't found a way to scan more than one page at a time with FineReader, whereas VueScan can scan I don't know how many images into one file, which FineReader can then OCR in one go. I find this an efficient way of working. As for adding either of them to the menu bar, this is a concept that is alien to me. I've never used Windows so don't understand the question.
