Which OCR software is compatible with Vista 32 bit

I currently have textbridge pro millenium OCR software that works fine
in win xp.
If I upgrade to Vista 32 bit, will it work?
Can anyone recommend another OCR software that works with Vista?
Does Vista have any built in OCR that can be accessed from within Word?
Does any other software such as Adobe acrobat have an OCR engine that
works in Vista?
Thanks for any advice.

So many questions.

ALL can be answered with a couple of searches using GOOGLE.

Check Textbridge Pro site for your version and whether its compatible with
Vista
And in any case if Winxp is fine for your needs why upgrade to Vista?

Textbridge Millenium is a version written before XP.

Microsoft Office Document Scanning will handle OCR in Vista. Works fine
for me, but I have no idea if it works as well as Textbridge, or even if
Textbridge will work in Vista.

I'm using Omnipage Pro 15 in Vista Home Premium, and it works fine. Version
16 is definitely Vista compatible.

The currrent version of Abbyy FineReader is also fine in Vista.

Can't speak for Textbridge.

The OCR software that is included in PaperPort 5.0 works fine under Vista.
That is a 1998 vintage program. The first time I ran it there was a notice
about compatibility issues, but I haven't seen any.

I'm away from home at the moment, using my laptop, so I can't check to see
what version of Omnipage I have on my desktop. But it's old--10 or 11, I
think--and it works fine.
