Readiris overview
Readiris is the most powerful and accurate OCR software for OS X. It accurately and rapidly transforms your paper documents, your PDFs and images files into editable information ready to be use.
Completely redesigned for Mac OS X, Readiris offers an easy to use user interface, which clearly guides you through the recognition steps. Extremely powerful, Readiris Pro exactly recreates the original format of your documents and replaces columns of text, tables, and graphics in the output file.
A large choice of output formats allows you to choose the format that best suits your needs. You can recreate a document in word processors or in spreadsheet programs, to get indexed PDF files with both the image and the text or to easily create Web pages thanks to the WYSIWYG HTML output format.

this does absolutely nothing to enhance the pleasurable experience of scanning with HP utils. why buy something that will not complement the util? to me, this is a ripoff type software that is not required for basic scanning documents.

TwainProxy is *still* 32-bit only. Seriously??? First I had to buy VueScan because Epson has stopped supporting their TWAIN scanning software, and now Canon/IRIlink has failed to create a 64-bit version of TWAINProxy???
No thanks, I'll stick to the last boxed copy of ReadIRIS until this issue is remedied/fixed, if ever.
At this rate, I don't think ReadIRIS 18 will ever come out...

I have been using Readiris Pro for a number of years. I have not had the problems reported below. (fingers crossed). There is a dearth of OCR software for the mac and when my previous software (OmniPage I think) stopped being supported I had to look elsewhere. ViewScan has rudimentary OCR and did the trick for a while. Then I tried Readiris, which was ported across from Windows I think. I have found the OCR engine quite accurate. I have spent little time teaching it. The ability to save the file as pdf, doc or xls is great. There are more export options available too. You can also save documents in a multi-page format, which is handy for pdf.
I was able to upgrade from my version 16 software for $69. This necessitated leaving MacUpdate and going into the IRIS website. I did have trouble activating version 15 a few years ago, but I got a prompt response from the support site and had no further problems. I had no problems installing, activating and registering version 17 in High Sierra 10.13.4.
I think the software does what it claims to do. The UI is a bit Windows like, but that does not worry me. Windows is quite friendly these days. So I take of ½ a point for that.
I will continue to use it.

Anyone considering purchase of Readiris OCR software should be aware that they have ZERO service. Apparently, you cannot get to a live human being even using their sales number. Sending questions to Support results in automated replies of receipt but NEVER an actual reply. Updates generally cannot be applied, for whatever reason. New versions of the MAC OS often force re-entry of a serial number, but after a few updates, then the software is bricked.
Several reviewers here are correct: Do not purchase this software.
