Hello Alberto, I’ve had good success with both the older ABBYY FineReader Express and the recently released ABBYY FineReader Pro (FRP). I find most buttons and other controls to be properly accessible with VO. I also find the workflow to be fairly intuitive. I am running the latest version of FRP on a 2013 MBA with scans coming over Wi-Fi from a Canon PIXMA MX922. In the last few months FRP has successfully scanned and converted a few thousand pages of snail mail, bills, books, and even the (sadly inaccurate) fortune from a fortune cookie. I have no problems scanning from either the Canon’s flatbed or it’s sheet-feeder, and even the sheet-feeder’s duplex function has worked seamlessly. Converting digital files is also a straightforward process. While I haven’t actually timed it, my impression is the OCR process is quicker in FRP than it was in FR Express. FRP runs the OCR process locally and is one of the few applications that will actually cause my MBA’s fan to kick into high gear. If I know I’m going to be performing a big OCR process, such as converting a 500 page PDF file or scanning and converting a stack of bills, I will normally start the process and leave the computer alone for a while while it’s doing the OCR magic.
Having said all that, I would of course strongly recommend getting hold of a demo and testing to make sure it works with your Mac and scanner. YMMV, HTH, Bryan >> On Mar 11, 2014, at 2:43 PM, alberto <[email protected]> wrote: >>> I have some extra money this time around, and I am considering getting >>> myself an OCR app for my mac.
