Dear Arabic-L users of Automatic Reader by Sakhr --
The short story is that Automatic Reader does not run on Vista.
I am using Professional Version 6.0 of Automatic Reader.  After  
upgrading to Vista, the application asks the same it does when my  
printer port dongle is not attached.  After a little bit of going  
back and forth with Sakhr tech support, I eventually ended up with  
the email that I have included below.

I can only conclude that no version of Automatic reader will work on  
Vista.  My only recourse at this point in time seems to be re-imaging  
that hard disk and re-installing Windows XP.

Be forewarned,

Dr. Andrew Freeman
Software Developer

Unfortunately, OCR v 9.0 the lasted version doesn't support Windows  
Vista.
