Hello Ed, Many of us use a combination of VueScan and ABBYY FineReader because it's easier to scan multiple pages with VueScan then pass the file containing multiple images to FineReader for the OCR. ABBYY FineReader is available in the Appstore and will work directly with a scanner, but VueScan has to be purchased from the developer at: www.hamrick.com
You can use VueScan without a license but it leaves a watermark which upsets ABBYY FineReader.
