Hi Jonathan, Rossy, Chris, and Others, I found an announcement of a coupon code discount of 20 per cent off the price of ABBYY Fine Reader Express for the Mac at the Mac App Deals page. You enter the coupon code SMBTM when you check out, which drops the price from $99.99 to $79.99 for U.S. buyers. Here's the link to the Mac App Deals web page, dated July 22, 2009, just in case I made a typo in the coupon code:

Here's another page at the ABBYY web site that summarizes some of this information on a page that doesn't require expanding the headings: http://www.abbyyusa.com/shop/FREXMac.htm I'll excerpt a part dealing with multi-lingual support: <begin excerpt> The application supports 171 recognition languages, including English, German, French, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Slovak, Malay, Indonesian and many others. Of those, 36 languages have dictionary support to provide the best possible conversion results. It also accurately recognizes multi-lingual documents containing up to three different languages. <end excerpt> Cheers, Esther Jonathan C.
