Hello Ed, VueScan can do OCR but it isn't as good as ABBYY FineReader. If all you need is to read printed mail, then VueScan will probably work for you. I must admit, I haven't tried it in English for a long time, but I do know that in French, VueScan is horrible. If I have time, I'll give the

Hello Ed, Many of us use a combination of VueScan and ABBYY FineReader because it's easier to scan multiple pages with VueScan then pass the file containing multiple images to FineReader for the OCR. ABBYY FineReader is available in the Appstore and will work directly with a scanner, but VueSca
