Subject: Re: abby fine reader express question
THere is a lot of complaining here... There is a take control book on
creating a paperless office that recommends good OCR scanners and a program
or two to create "Searchable" PDF files. I don't know of anybody in the
blind community that has reviewed this book and tested the solution. So...
I will buy the book and do a Sunday project to see how well that solution
might work for us.
I will report back on MOnday In the mean time, let us stop complaining and
start looking at real solutions.
Best regards,
Jonathan

Hi Carolyn,
Just out of curiosity, what type of scanner do you have? I think you may
have told me before, but I think I need a refresher. :-) I will say that
as a follow-up to our docuscan discussion, I really started digging
further into scanning possibilities for my mac. I tried a program called
Exactscan Pro, which was sort of okay, but I was disappointed with the
quality of the recognition. However, I also downloaded a trial version of
Abby Fine Reader, and I actually wound up purchasing it within the first
couple of days. I am very impressed with the recognition, and it works
very well with my scanner and scanner software. My only complaint at all
about this program, is simply the fact I have to launch the scanner
software separately to begin the scanning process, and that Abby asks you
to save the file before reviewing it. Having said that, it really comes
down to an extra button push or two difference from what I might get out
of K1000. I have used it intensely since having bought it. I intend to
continue using it even once I get Fusion up and running. I will use K1000
primarily for larger scanning projects, since it will allow me to scan
repeatedly without necessarily having to save anything. As far as going
through the daily mail or random papers around the house, Abby does the
job perfectly.

Hi John:
That's one reason I haven't made that little investment. If I'm going to
buy that app, I don't want to have to jump through lots of hoops to use
it. I have to say this is one area where accessibility really could use
a proberveal kick in the pants--Ok, upgrade.:)
I absolutely hate having to tell people I need to use the PC to scan most
conveniently.
Thank you for your input.
Carolyn

I have done this with TIFF and PostScript files.
Even though I got a copy of Abby (old version) with my scanner, the new
Abby does not recognise my Epson Perfection scanner.

Hi:
I'm debating about purchasing Abbyy for my Mac to access it's ocr
capabilities. I am wondering from someone who uses it whether I can
upload an image to it from, for example, an email attachment and have
it convert to text. TIA for any input.
Carolyn
