After that I realized that software converter advertised on the Apple site was limited to data already on my computer. That software would not recognize my ext drive. I wanted to import data onto my Mac from old home movie DVDs (DVD-R, that I converted from 8mm tapes years ago) using an external hard drive. I first tried buying through the Apple store, unfortunately it did not work for my needs. However, I was surprised that the reviews for this converter at the Apple store were favorable. The reviews from this site (Trustpilot) were very negative. Was looking online for video converter software. So, there you go, there is something to cheer about.One thing I know: I will never purchase anything from either iSkysoft or Wondershare again.
There is still a major obstacle, the software only works with standard North American letter-sized document (8.5" by 11"), but I can live with that for now. After having installed that particular (Wondershare) programme, I was able to download and instal easily its OCR module a few days later I updated the software to its newly released higher version without any problems.
And you guessed it again, as it turned out Wondershare is iSkysoft under a different name. I happen to know this because at some point and in error I purchased a Mac programme called, you guessed it, PDFelement Pro 7 from a company called Wondershare. PDFelement Pro OCR works quite well even with poor quality scans (like the scans of old, faded texts taken from archival sources). In these two areas the software is indeed very good, far better than several other programmes which I tried. Two redeeming aspects of PDFelement Pro are its implementation of OCR technology on the one hand and its text editing capabilities on the other. Despite the final success I strongly advise all potential buyers to seek alternative software solutions. Also, filing a claim with my credit card company may have helped. iSkysoft customer support representative with whom I was dealing finally understood that I needed a refund for the Mac version of the programme, not the Windows version. I have to admit that after much hassle, I did miraculously receive refund for PDFelement Pro 6 for Mac. This is an addendum to my earlier reviews.
