- NetMonkey 12y agoAh, don't know how I missed that. Thanks. Crazy that it's limited to 8.1, and not even working on 8.0. I really wonder if there is a valid technical reason, or they just use it to push upgrades.
- silon3 12y agoIt's crazy that it's Windows Store only. On my only Windows machine the Windows Store won't even open because I have UAC disabled.
- bkeroack 12y agoWho on Earth uses Windows Store apps on Windows Server? We would totally consider using this if not for that.

- RyJones 12y ago8.0 is deprecated, 8.1 has replaced it.
- maxxxxx 12y agoI can't imagine there being a technical reason. OCR is almost purely algorithmic and it shouldn't depend much on the OS.
