Hi Ray,

You could look at ABBYY FineReader Express.

>|http://download.cnet.com/ABBYY-FineReader-Express-Edition/3000-2079_4-75146983.html?tag=mncol;1 |<

Works on Mac OS X 10.4 PPC/Intel/10.5 PPC/Intel/10.6 Intel

I'm still on OS 10.5.8.

I've been using it on old newspaper scans and it works quite well, it's the only OCR program I've used so i can't
compare it another.

Cheers
Brian

Do you have any recommendations for text-recognition software that will run natively on a 64-bit Intel Mac? If so, please let me know. I need such an application to convert standard scanned images to text files.

Currently I have OmniPage SE that came as a freebie when G5s were top-of-the-wozza, but am getting ready for MacOS 10.7, which apparently will no longer support PowerPC-only applications. Unfortunately, OmniPage SE is a Power-PC only application. The current OmniPage website has no information about any version of OmniPage for MacOS 10. It seems that they now only support Widows.

I do realise that one solution would be to have two disk partitions; one with MacOS 10.7, and one with MacOS 10.6, and booting to the older one when I want to run legacy applications. However, it would be nice to avoid such inefficiency.
