I bought a Canon MP970 around the beginning of last year, and it came with a copy of Omnipage SE. Certainly not a trial version, and fully functional. Works just as well as it always has since the days when OP n the Mac was King. It is still the easiest and best OCR software I have ever used. Nuance never seem to adverstise that fact the Mac version of OP still exists, and there's no publicised upgrade path, but it seems to be keeping up with the PC version in terms of features from what I can see. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Mob 0403 064 948 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]>
