Greetings Ann and others, Okay, so I gather the reason to get both VUEScan and FineReader is that the former will run the scanner and the latter provides a much better OCR result. Does finereader resolve the orientation? There are eight ways to put a page on the scanner and only one is correct. One would not need to run through all four iterations for the blank side, but for many items which are not always printed lengthwise, it could take as many as four scans to get it right. Mean time, when the orientation is not correct, it takes much longer to recognize, and you end up with a garbage result.
So I will probably download VUEScan and see for myself but thought I'd ask here, because if ABBYY cannot determine orientation, I will stick with K1000 for the foreseeable future. Best regards.
