Hello,
For a long time I have VueScan set up to automatically pass the its TIF file
output to abbbyy fine reader for abbyy fine reader to do the optical character
recognition. Alas my setup has gotten corrupted and I cannot remember how to
achieve the above. I looked at the VueScan options
They are planning to release v13 shortly which will be compatible.
Kind regards

The ABBYY FineReader Pro OCR application is on sale in the US Mac App Store for
$74.99 until August 3, 2014. It normally sells for $99.99. Sorry, I don’t know

A trial version of FineReader Pro can be downloaded from ABBYY’s website
