How well does the OCR software work?

It works very well. I take the scanner with me when I need to make copies on the spot. (I am a realtor)

The scanning quality is good, depending on your setting. Scanning for "professional printing" is a little vague because you didn't mention size or the type of artwork. I have not been unhappy with any of the functions.

Not sure I know what you mean. I understand "redact" to mean to block out text we don't want someone else to be able to read. Not sure how that translates into OCR software.

I have this device and use Mac OS Mountain Lion. The scanning feature does work as long as you install the driver (available on their website). The only feature the Mac does not allow for is the OCR feature.

I select photo + jpg (or tif) for signatures and even cash register receipts. Files zoom up and print clearly (8-pt type is readable). It also offers document + pdf (or tif) choices for incorporating into other apps- as it gives me that many more options. Yes, much easier to get good results than any other scanner I owned.

Nope. Sorry. I wish they would add a simple OCR feature to the program for just that purpose, but it hasn't happened yet.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and the scanner works well. I also use ReadIris Pro 12 software and it functions correctly.

Yes, it is easy to use. If you scan in color it takes a very long time. black and white is fast

It works well. It is better for text but acceptable for photos. It is very easy to use.

I'm sorry, but this is not the scanner I purchased (same brand, different model.) I don't have any experience with the OCR software.

Yes, I successfully print and scan using a MacBook Pro Laptop (laptop using Wi-Fi, printer connected to the router with Ethernet.) However, I have not yet been able to get the OCR software to install on the Mac.

Yes. The scanning function works really well for multiple and 2-sided documents scanned to a single file.

Well I have yet to try the arcsoft scan-n-stitch aspect of the scanner but from what I understand it is easy to use and is seamless. You might want to scan through some of the reviews to see who has used this feature and if it is user friendly.

@Stephen, the handwriting recognition is pretty good, but can fail. Try writing gmail. :)

It definitely works with a PC. The problem you might have is transferring the OCR data to whatever program you want to incorporate the data into.

I believe it is. As of now, I'm just using the full version of Adobe. As I get more organized, I expect the Rack2Filer will come into play.The scanner itself is excellent, making fast 2-sided scans with excellent resolution/quality.

I have that software on my computer so when I scan and import it works. Are you wanting to use the printer as a stand alone unit that would scan something, process by ocr, and print it out without going through a computer? I don't think it would do that.....
