Good evening,

I just found this program on my computer and I don't know what it might be used for.
Can someone shed some light on this and tell me if I can safely delete it?

Thanks in advance.

It is software for scanning and converting scanned pages into PDF format, for example, or also text. It is often included in software suites bundled with printers.

Good evening,

Thank you for your quick response.

I would also like to know if I can delete it without risk, or if it is really an essential tool that I might need?

Thank you again.

You can of course delete it without any risk; it's up to you to decide if you need it...

Hello

To copy texts and transcribe them into Word format (after correction) or PDF.
Allows you to copy drawings and convert them into Word and PDF.
This program is great for copying documents.
Minor drawback, a bit complicated to use but then it becomes very easy
ys

Advice for drawings, make a compression to reduce file sizes.

It can also be used to perform OCR (optical character recognition) on an image or a screenshot, which is very useful.

He was installed on my computer with my EPSON printer; I would recommend keeping it to scan your photos with the printer.

Hello Sinouhe1791,

Abby Finreader 6 is an outdated program that should be avoided (vulnerabilities = infection).
You should get version 9, I believe.

Even better for uninstalling any program

Revo Uninstaller (you can find it everywhere...)

Free and without any spyware (guaranteed!)

I recommend installing CCleaner, a small very useful software for cleaning temporary files, the registry (without risk), and launching uninstalls. It is in French despite the website page being in English.

https://www.ccleaner.com/

There you go!

Hello
I was in the same situation, this program comes with the printer CD. You need to insert the printer CD, go to the control panel -- uninstall a program -- then click on modify -- repair. Once it's repaired, click on modify again and then delete, and it should work in principle.
Best regards, Louis

I can't uninstall ABBYY Fine Reader 6.0 Sprint. 116 MB used unnecessarily. If you have any tips, thank you very much.
