455704 2006-05-18 07:47:00 I have just unpacked my new epson rx530 multi-function. I have not yet installed. Reading the user guide I find no mention of OCR. There appears to be no OCR software on the installation cd. The epson.co.nz/owners website is useless on this question.
What ocr is compatible? Where do I get it? Will it actually DO OCR?
Previously I have been using an HP scanjet 4200c. and have that ocr software.
System is Windows XP. I bought the Epson for the film and slide copy facility and expected that all multifunctions would include OCR.
I'd be grateful for any help in this.

455705 2006-05-18 11:33:00 Well the RX510 has ABBY FineReader so I guess it would work with yours too.
I can't see yours has one either. Weird.

Theres also:
OmniPage Pro and Textbridge Millennium Pro.

Are there any free OCR packages available?

Here are a few:
