Hello:

I convert scanned documents to files occasionally, and I need to get software to do this for my 2011 MBP, running 10.6.7 Snow Leopard. I've always done it on a Windows computer and I have heard mixed reviews about company's various programs, so:

1) What scanned file-conversion software (EX: directly scanned and converted to MS Word or Scanned to PDF and then converted into a Word docx.) works the best with OS X?

2) Which software do you recommend? I've always used ABBYY with mixed results, but it is also because some of the documents I work with are typewriter old and have substantial 'static' on the pages.

Thx much!
