Correct Lexmark saves it as a jpg or PDF. Then you open FineReader and tell
it to OCR the JPG and PDF and you now have edititable text. Now if the
Lexmark software gives you a scaned page as text, then it is using FinePrint
in the background.

Thank, Eric ... but isn't that what my Lexmark does? It scans whatever I
give it to scan and I get a jpg image on my desktop (or wherever I save it).
By converting, as you say, the image into text, does that mean it is not a
jpg and that I can edit it? Do you have it and do you find it useful? ---
