I am interested in this product. I want to know what languages the OCR software (ie., OmniPage Pro) can recognise and convert it to PDF files

I have not used any OCR software in connection with this scanner, whether included with the product or a third party software. Sorry I can't help you.

You really need to contact both Epson and your software manufacturer (i.e. OmniPage Pro)

The Epson User Manual does not give that information, however... you can contact Epson Customer Service directly and ask them what languages their 3rd party OCR software operates with. Norwegian, I'm guessing is what you need? Try: http://www.epson.com/europe.html This scanner is truly made for both personal and business usage... I feed about 2000 pages per day and am using it with a paper shear to digitize my entire library of books that will fit the scanner. Also, one MUST determine by trial and error as to which setting of dpi/compression to use for color pictures and small text sizes under 10pt. to obtain the best scan quality for the smallest file size. I don't recommend using "High" compression, but haven't yet tried all dpi/compression combinations. One great feature of the software is that you can 'SAVE' any page size into your own custom list of page sizes to scan.

tl;dr: It works with some ebook formats but not others. If your ebook has DRM which prevents you from converting formats then you may be stuck with unreadable books; otherwise, conversion software like Calibre should do the trick. I was curious enough about this to try it so I downloaded a couple free ebooks. A Bulgarian PDF (text based) and a Russian EPUB. The PDF displayed non-roman alphabet characters just fine. The EPUB showed nothing but pages of question marks (?????? ?? ????). Next I used Calibre on my computer to convert the Russian EPUB -&gt; PDF and the characters displayed correctly on the Reader. I tried to convert the Bulgarian PDF -&gt; EPUB and Calibre was unable to do so; I'm not sure why.

Not certain, but I believe this item is English only. Dragon may have transcription software for other languages, but you should check the Dragon website. Good luck.

You can save your scanned documents to word, excel, plain text, openoffice.org, html and a few others in addition to PDF. Lots of flexible options with this program.

Call ABBY on this one - FR works with word and dff files. No OCR program is perfect but FR does do a great job.

I run Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on both my desktop and notebook computers. I haven't installed the LiDE 700F on the notebook, but it works fine on the desktop.I'm not sure how one can blame the scanner for poor OCR. That's the provence of the software.

Ramon, may I suggest to check the WEB site: http://www.vupointsolutions.com/magic_wand_portable_scanner Indeed it does PDF natively, and as far as Letter or A4, you need to understand the concept. You are not locked into a size, as you manually scan a "surface", be it small or large. You will need an editor if they are png files, so as to make them fit your desired proportions. I would suggest you read the manual from the manufacturer's WEB page. This is not a tool for mass scanning, but occasional note taking on the road, e.g. Library, as it is a tad tedious to use. In real life, you cannot scan a whole book with it!!!

As far as I know there is a pdf file on the website. My brother got one, and I believe it was from there.

I've updated the firmware to the latest version (something of a comedy of errors), and I find that it just doesn't handle PDF files very well. The second problem can be sidestepped if you can reformat your PDF documents with larger margins. Not ideal, I know. I haven't encountered the first problem yet. Updating the firmware may be a solution for you on that. (I didn't try any PDF files until after updating.)

After a week of use I can reiterate that this is possible. I have converted full pages of handwritten notes (8.5 x 11) . The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is pretty good. Just click on the page in the Livescribe+ app and swipe to the right. The handwritten notes are converted into text. I find that my numbers do not always convert correctly, but editing is simple from within the app

The brochure says that Newsoft Presto Page Manager is not compatible with 10.5 Leopard. Do you need that to scan to PDF? That's the main task I'd be using this for, but if there's no compatible 10.5 Leopard software, I don't want to buy it. Thanks

I just looked at the languages offered in my camera. The choices that were listed were English, French, Sapnish, Italian, and two character sets I didn't recognize. I'm going to guess one is Japanese and the other I won't guess about. I hope this helps.

For an OCR solution you should attempt to process the image via Evernote or Adobe Acrobat.They will do a secondary pass on the image to determine text and Evernote will then let you search terms in the receipt.

The bundled software is Presto Pagemanager 9, from NewSoft. NewSoft has a fairly highly regarded OCR product, but as this short review notes, the OCR in Pagemanager does not seem to be as good. Personally, I haven't used the OCR function, but I use scan to multi-page pdf on a daily basis and that's pretty bullet proof.

Hi Dennis, I haven't tried this myself, but I would guess that this device would struggle to accurately record equations: it will probably mistake Greek characters/mathematical characters for more common letters, although you may be able to select mathematical formula as the OCR language.
