Hi there, At over 2000 euro? not a chance. I only use it because the university for which I work had it lying around and I borrowed it until a student comes in and gets it back. I would honestly say to spend a couple of hundred of whatever currency you operate in, and buy a decent scanner,

Hmmm, ok. I am used to kurzweil. I had a go with abby and vu scan and couldn't get them to work and would just like an all mac solution. Perhaps I'll give abby and vu scan another shot or just stick with running a virtual machine then. Thanks for the tips. Cait On 2013-03-13, at 6:53 AM,

Hi Kate, I'm only getting started with these tools myself Anne Robertson is probably one of the list experts on this and will know better. The answer is that you can scan and recognise with ABYY but it's slow. What a lot of us (I think it's not just me) do is if we have a lot to scan, we just

Hi David, Oops my apologies I thought I had followed up with the list on this one. I did some work with the developers, in the form of feedback and beta testing on ML last year. They were actually unaware it wouldn't work till I pointed it out and, I must say, reacted reasonably promptly.
