The OCR will recognize the English alphabet and all languages that use the English alphabets should pose no problem unless they use characters and symbols not in the English alphabet. You may consider getting third party OCR software for the language of your choice for best results, which will be compatible with the DocuPen handheld scanner. If your native Windows Operating System is in one of these 10 Languages; Brazilian, English, French, Italian, German. Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, & Swedish. Then PaperPort will automatically load the version that the native Windows Program detects. This will allow you to edit in the native language as well. Also coming in the Fall 2004 – OCR support for Asian languages including Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), Japanese, & Korean.
