feature (again, it's purpose was to get images for our website.) in retrospect, i didn't install the ocr-text software so perhaps this will interface with the scanner and offer a smaller pdf size.

the supplied ocr software (abbyy finereader sprint plus) had done a fair job for a free bundled product and a terrible ink speckled original (like all newspaper print in hose days).

and, as a bonus, the optical character recognition (ocr) software with the strange name (abbyy finereader sprint) that comes included with the scanner works great (windows only, however - there is no

note that i did not install the other two included softwares---"arcsoft mediaimpression" and "abbyy fine reader spring plus ocr".

ocr isn't that important to me.

i bought my first ocr (optical character recognition)machine in the mid-1980s.

i found that my adobe acrobat 9 easily accessed the scanner, and quickly created a searchable pdf via its ocr function.

a single, easy to use, application manages the very fast scanning and efficient ocr conversion of printed documents outputting directly in searchable pdf, word, excel, email attachment, address book

from www.amazon.com
