Not sure on what software name but I reloaded the mfg. disc from the old scanner I had 4years ago... Works well with windows 8 and my adobe acrobat pro Just be careful if you intend to travel with this scanner alot

The bundled software is Presto Pagemanager 9, from NewSoft. NewSoft has a fairly highly regarded OCR product, but as this short review notes, the OCR in Pagemanager does not seem to be as good. Personally, I haven't used the OCR function, but I use scan to multi-page pdf on a daily basis and that's pretty bullet proof.

Exactly what the (software) is that comes with it I cannot say. I can tell you that it does come with everything you need that makes it a great scanner. I hope this helps.

The ABBYY Fine Reader comes on a DVD with all the software packages for Windows and MAC. The DVD is manufactured by Fujitsu, not on an ABBYY supplied DVD. Both the ABBYY "About" and the DVD printed label report "ABBYY Fine Reader for ScanSnap 4.1". There is no mention of "Pro" or "Express". If you have another way to determine the version, I will be glad to look again.

There is no software program that comes with this device. It's just something you plug into your machine's and/or your computer's USB port. It works the same as an external storage device that allows your machine and computer to see and utilize the digitized files on it. You need an additional editing software program of some sort to be able to read and print any of the files. One of the Buzz Tools programs which are far less pricey than full blown editing programs could can do the job. Hope this helps.

The one I bought never worked right, it would not feed the document through. I threw it away. And got a thing called cam scanner for my Android phone. It's the only scanner I've needed in 4 years. No need for Windows and it does ocr and allows me to save as pdf so I can do whatever I want with it all from my phone or tablet.

Nope - no handwriting recognition/transcription on Scansnaps. At least not on the S300 or discontinued S510 models. The OCR is used only to take the scanned images (all scans with these scanners are as images) and convert the text to searchable text. Evernote has handwriting recognition, though I haven't used it much and don't know how accurate it is. I believe that Microsoft OneNote 2007 also can do this; OneNote 2010 might be improved over the previous version. Scansnap is not very good at all for document organization. As a matter of fact it is pretty poor. E.g., you cannot import any other documents (PDF) and have them made searchable; only that which was scanned with the Scansnap. So if you have a lot of PDF documents already you would have to scan them all over again. Also, Scansnap doesn't allow you to use Paperport with it, like most scanners do. Jim

It will scan to USB or a network file in PDF, JPG and XPF formats. You will need OCR software (included in full version Adobe Acrobat, but also available from a number of vendors) to perform optical character recognition and conversion to TXT, RTF, or word processor formats such as Word and WordPerfect. Most OCR software will perform on JPG files, and the Brother printer will scan in 300dpi resolution that should produce good OCR results.

Is the program to do this from livescribe, or is it an outside OCR program like abby?

I own the 550XL but the software should be the same: The machine will come with AutoPunch and HyperText; this software allows you to open other people's designs and create text from any font on your computer. Technically this software will allow you to load an image and convert it to a digital file but I've found this aspect of the software to be somewhat limited with anything but the most basic of objects but it'll get the job done. My machine did *not* come with PhotoStich which allows you to take a photo (like from a camera) and convert it to a digital file. Also not included will be the CrossStich, which will create digitized images in a series of X's instead of solid stitches or lines.

I would honestly say it's more of a document scanner but then I would also have to suggest you contact the Fujitsu people and ask what they have is best for images. I wouldn't by from any other they are the best. Hope this helps.

I also found the SilverFast software to be horrible. I HIGHLY recommend VueScan by Hamrick Software (http://www.hamrick.com). It can utilize ALL the features of the OpticFilm 82001 (including infrared) and is much more intuitive. Available for Macintosh, Windows and Linux computer at a very reasonable cost (you can either by the current edition with free upgrades for a year for $30 or the Professional version with free lifetime upgrades for $80). They have been around for a very long time and it is constantly upgraded. It supports just about every scanner imaginable!

I use a PC. Scrivener was originally developed for the MAC and it gets raves. I love it on PC but apparently it can do much more on the MAC. I don't know anything about other programs nor the iMac.

the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and uses the same software. the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and... » Read More the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and uses the same software. « Show Less

It supports most of the popular formats; Aldiko, Google Books, Kindle, Nook, PDF AND EPUB. Some of the rading apps have page turner and text adjustments. Others just use a swipe gesture.

Yes, it will scan in color. It will save in either jpeg or pdf format. Don't know what you want to do with it in OCR.

The Epson User Manual does not give that information, however... you can contact Epson Customer Service directly and ask them what languages their 3rd party OCR software operates with. Norwegian, I'm guessing is what you need? Try: http://www.epson.com/europe.html This scanner is truly made for both personal and business usage... I feed about 2000 pages per day and am using it with a paper shear to digitize my entire library of books that will fit the scanner. Also, one MUST determine by trial and error as to which setting of dpi/compression to use for color pictures and small text sizes under 10pt. to obtain the best scan quality for the smallest file size. I don't recommend using "High" compression, but haven't yet tried all dpi/compression combinations. One great feature of the software is that you can 'SAVE' any page size into your own custom list of page sizes to scan.
