I use Abby Fine Reader Express with my Epson v200 scanner, and it is extremely
easy and I'd say accurate 99 % of the time, unable to scan something only
perhaps that 1%. I cannot compare it to urzweil or Open Book, but I will say
that it is much easier on the mac than scanning with Abby Fine Reader was on my
PC.
