I use fxSCAN 4.0 and think it's the most user friendly. It has OCR ability listed on the cover but I haven't tried it yet. A word of caution, though, fxSCAN does not supply drivers for the various scanners. It uses the drivers from an already installed scan package, ie Betascan or ScanQuix4. If your scanner is supported in Betascan, great! Mine was not and I had to load ScanQuix. I found ScanQix (by itself) to be buggy and cumbersome to use. fxSCAN (purchased a year later) was more intuitive and, so far, has given reliable results. Good Luck!
