Listers,
For a mysterious reason, Abbyy Fine Reader Express, which I have successfully
been using for years, also since upgrading to Maverick, has decided to go
haywire. Every time I try to convert a .tiff file which I had created in
vuescan, it crashes. I can’t do the conversion at all.
Has a
Hello guys.
I bought VueScan; I got the update forever professional one for $79. I also
already had Abby Fine Reader Express. Anne, I went through the setup process
that you sent me; I still have it on my computer in case I need to reread it
and things set in my brain. Here's my question.
I have heard that the Fujitsu 1100 portable scanner comes with ABBY and I know
that a scanner I bought several ears ago came with a copy of ABBY that was not
as fuctional as the current one is. So you might want to look at if it comes
bundled with the scanner you are thinking of purchasing, per
You can use Abby without first printing the files. Indeed, this is how many
people use it since it does not directly support all scanners.

Hello everyone. I'm going to purchase Abby Fine Reader but don't have a scanner
yet. If I buy it before getting a scanner, can it handle .pdf files that
contain scanned images directly or do I have to print the files and scan them?

Yes, that's the cherry on the cake. Folder actions are very usefull, but if you
have both imagescane interaction followed by the abbeyfinereader interactions,
folder actions aren't needed.

YOu could go one step further with a dedicated folder and folder scripts. If
you enable folder scripts and associate a script with the foler then you should
be able to say something like

Hi Anne and others who might need this.
I just whipped up an automation script that basically converts an opened pdf or
image or whatever into the same file name and as a text. This will probably be
usefull for anyone who doesn't want to bother with the entire process each time.

What i wish would happen with this method is for the trash to go away, that is,
you don't need that tiff file for anything else than to get a text one time, so
i would like for that tiff file to automagically get deleted after having been

Many thanks for that. Turns out I did most of it already. Thing is, when I
scan a file now, Fine reader will not open by itself. And, even when I do

go in to Aby Fine Reader and press the convert to text button. D

Hey guys,
I saw this app in the Mac store. I was wondering if its level of accessibility
warrants the price they're asking for it?

Of course there is no reason why you cannot contact the developers of ABBYY and
express your issues with the driver situation. Perhaps there is something that
not all twain drivers are created equally. If enough people express concern, it
may be addressed.
There are options, so just need to find

In my opinion, complaining can create a solution just as much as reading a
book. It all depends on how, and who, you complain to.

Well at least for me, ABBYY works perfectly with my HP all-in-one. The reason
is ABBYY gets along with the twain driver of the HP software, which itself is

I bought Abbyfinereader $99.00 figuring that it would be an inexpensive way to

If I remember correctly, people often used a different program to scan because
Abbyy is not good at making friends with a lot of scanners. So, people find it
easier to scan with iPhoto or Vuescan and use baby for it's superior OCR and

Honestly Jenny, I don't really remember what my issue was with ABBYY Fine

open the file in ABBYY Fine Reader to do the OCR on it. Is this correct?

Yes, Abby Fine Reader is $99. Hmmm, what type of problem were you having with

for your scanner? And you're right, it would be ideal to have access to a

Personally, I think Docuscan works rather well with a flatbed scanner. My only
hangup with it is the "cloud-only issue and the time in which it takes to
process a single page.

If it weren't cloud based and would work with my scanner, I'd be sold. But,
for that kind of money, I want to be pretty assured of it's security. I read
