Scanning Handwriting on the Mac

2014-10-10 Thread Leo Bissonnette
Hi,

I have been given a journal that is all done in handwriting. I have been asked 
to scan it so that we can send on the scanned images.

Wondering how best to handle this on my Mac.

Am looking at Abbyy Fine Reader and Abbyy Fine Reader Express.

Any suggestions on how best to deal with this process would be appreciated.

Leo

any scanner will produce a jpg image file containing a picture of the scanned 
page(s). As long as you don’t expect to OCR the scanned images you won’t be 
disappointed. I’d  use ABBYY fine reader pro, if you have it for scanning 
multiple pages. I think express is restricted to one page at a time.
