What languages does Doxie OCR support?

Doxie includes optical character recognition (OCR) technology from ABBYY. It's built-in to the Doxie software, so you just save your scans with OCR and it takes care of the rest.

By using OCR, you can: a) search the contents of your PDFs quickly, and b) copy and paste text directly from a PDF to a word processing document.

Doxie's OCR supports most every worldwide language derived from the Latin alphabet, like the ones you'll find in the Americas and Europe. Doxie does not, however, support character-based languages like Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Korean, Thai, and Arabic.
