Hi Alberto, I wish I had purchased Fine Reader Pro instead of Prizmo2. There has been extensive discussion about this app either here or on another Mac list. I am beginning to get things confused where I have seen the posts. The app runs $99.99, but the engine is ABBYY. May be others who are

Hi Isaac, May be you can give a concise instructions on how to get the OCR read out after scanning the image? I am able to scan the image, but not get any results. What brand scanner are you using and what are the settings you are using in Prizmo 2 on the Mac? When I try to OCR the doc, I

You really can’t go wrong with ABBYY FineReader Pro. it is highly accessible and easy to use - highly accurate results as well. coupled with any Epson scanner and you’ve got a winning combination. I have an inexpensive Epson perfection V33 scanner - nothing special - it just works and it is
