Re: why is vuescan necessary to use with Abby fine reader

2013-07-01 Thread Paul Erkens
Hi Anne,

What is your workflow when scanning with vuescan and fineReader express? Do you 
first scan all pages with vueScan, and then hand them all off to FineReaer to 
do the OCR? If so, would VueScan store all pages in one big image document such 
as pdf, or will I get 80 loose files out of vuescan that I'll feed into 
FineReader?

Kind regards,
Paul.

Re: why is vuescan necessary to use with Abby fine reader

Hello Paul,

I first scan all pages with VueScan which puts all the images into one file. 
That's why it's so efficient.

Re: why is vuescan necessary to use with Abby fine reader

Hello Christina,

It isn't actually necessary to use VueScan with FineReader, but it makes 
scanning multiple pages much easier and quicker. You can scan multiple pages 
with ABBYY FineReader, but you have to perform several actions between pages 
whereas with VueScan, you can either set it to autorepeat or press Cmd-n for 
each scan, then Cmd-g to tell VueScan that you've scanned the final page, and 
it will close the file and open FineReader so that FR can perform the OCR.

Re: why is vuescan necessary to use with Abby fine reader

2013-06-29 Thread Anouk Radix
Hi Donna, The problem that i personally get when trying to scan with my adf 
multiple times if using finereader on the mac:
After a few tries the adf works fine, so it can scan continuously, but when you 
have inserted the next load in the pdf and hit scan in finereader you will 
again have to set the settings in the driver before you can start scanning 
again, so you have to tell the driver that you want to use the adf for input 
etc.
I am not sure if this is where Anne is referring to as well but i for my part 
will try vuescan tosee if that will make it a bit less complicated.
Testing the different aproaches is key here i guess and see what works the 
quickest.

why is vuescan necessary to use with Abby fine reader

2013-06-28 Thread Christina C.
Why do folks suggest that we buy both? What are the benefits to scanning with 
vuescan and then using Abby fine reader for the OCR? Why can't we just use fine 
reader for the scanning as well?

Thanks,
Christina
