    Yikes!

    That's a lot for any program, and that's an upgrade price? What happened to $49.99?

    No OS X?

    With a hefty upgrade price and no OS X version they don't seem to be very smart.

    Not Yikes

    If you think that $129 is too much, what do you think of $499.99 for Scansoft's Omnipage Pro? The latter, incidentally, hasn't been updated for years.

    Thank you, ABBYY, for releasing FineReader. I'm about to try out the beta...

    Re: Not Yikes

    Most scanners seem to come with some sort of OCR for PCs. They are probably not as feature rich as FineReader. I guess I'm looking for something more lowend.
