Hello, Thank you anne for this info. Maybe I am being prejudiced here (quite possible) bu tI havent heard that much about readiris at all as an ocr package in comparison with finereader and omnipage. As I said I always need to scan books for school and also lots of articles which often are not that great quality because they are copied. With omnipage I can just scan it and leave it be knowing that it will be very readable (unless people have been circling stuff with biros) and wont need any further attention. Luckily I still have an oldish windows laptop and a pc but that one needs to be reinstalled. I thought version 16 of omnipage was working on the mac but if not then indeed it would maybe not be such a good idea to use it. Thanks again, Greetings, Anouk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anne Robertson" <a...@anarchie.org.uk> To: <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Saturday, July 18, 2009 10:40 AM Subject: Re: introduction/noob questions(longish)
