    NAPS2 focuses on scanning and offers OCR functionality. ABBYY FineReader is a powerful OCR software that allows a scanner as source, along multiple others. So if you're looking for a better software to scan a bunch of documents, ABBYY isn't for you.

    Scanner interface is much cleaner than NAPS2 while supporting nearly all the same functions. However Scanner lacks OCR support and command line operation which NAPS2 includes.
