CHAWK Have had problems with multiple versions of Readiris, so gave up a couple of versions ago. Got the upgrade email today, so checking out whether it would be worth the $100. Probably not given the reviews, since I do not need to do a lot of OCR. For my limited requirements, I have found the OCR function in VueScan works pretty well using a Canon LIDE (?1220??) scanner. It will handle multipage documents, though with my scanner, have to scan each page individually. To finish, I scrub the OCR results with TextSoap to get rid of all the line breaks.
(Version 12.0)
