[Athen] Abbyy FineReader v9?

[Ron Stewart]

Based on my recent experiences with 9 I just took my two new machines back
to versions 8.  The size issue was just one, but I also do not like the new
interface.

Greetings All,
I'm considering upgrading to Abbyy version 9.0, but am curious if you have
any idea how much larger is "somewhat larger" when one uses the process of
scanning to TIFF and then loading the file into FineReader as an image.  It
sounds like it might not be the 10 times larger that Jim Marks experienced,
but do you think it's 2 times, 3 times, etc.?  Not looking for absolute
figures, just wondering if the size is significant enough to not upgrade at
this point.  

Thoughts?  To upgrade or not to upgrade?  We are currently using version 7.0
and storage is not currently an issue.

Thanks.

I think it was on the DSSHE list but what we are seeing is files sizes with
Abbyy 9 being about 10 times larger than with Abbyy 8.

There was an extended conversation about Abbyy Fine Reader version 9 on this
or another mailing list recently. The problem with Abbyy Version 9 is the
size of the files produced in the scanning process. The general consensus is
that it is safest to stay with version 8 for the time being especially when
scanning textbooks and other large items.

Has anyone tried out the new FineReader? I know there were discussions, pros
and cons on FineReader 8.0 and technical issues with regards to 8.0 for some
folks. Just curious.
