Re: docuscan vs finereader

2011-07-26 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Anouk,

The major problem with DocuScan is that it only offers English. In addition, 
since the OCR is done in the cloud, it's slower than doing it all on your 
computer.

My preferred solution is to scan using VueScan and have ABBYY FineReader 
perform the OCR.

If I'm scanning a whole book, I set VueScan to multipage scanning, and scan the 
whole book into one TIFF file. I have TIFF files all set to open with ABBYY 
FineReader by default so the file opens automatically and I just have to tell 
FineReader the title, where to put it and its format.

Cheers,

Anne

Hey,
Ah thanks for that, that is indeed pretty important for me since most of 
the texts I scan are in Dutch. I am pretty sure there are drivers for my 
scanner and at least snow leopard, i think hp will update them for lion 
as well so I think I would be able to use finereader directly if I can 
get it working with the sheetfeader.

Thanks again!
