I always thought Kurzweil was set to RTK by default. It always has been 
since version 6, anyway. Of course, you can change that...Anyway, take care.

Hi Dave,

Fine reader is Kurzweil is set to by default. Is this considered the best
out there? Asking b because I am fairly new at scanning.

Hi Cindy,

I haven't seen any responses to this message, so . . .
The OCR package you are using is most likely Abby Fine Reader.  This is the
most popular OCR engine used by Openbook, Kurzweil, etc.  You can also use
it, as do Donna, and perhaps others on the list do, in its stand alone
version.
The Twain you are referring to is the interface between the scanner and
computer, or in other words, the driver that allows the scanner to
communicate with the computer.  When the developers were designing this
method for a standardized, cross platform, method for sending data from a
scanner to a computer they must have been in a droll mood,
  naming it by the acronym TWAIN for Technology Without An Interesting Name.
