Ah, 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.

It'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.
Who on Earth uses Windows Store apps on Windows Server? We would totally consider using this if not for that.
I can't imagine there being a technical reason. OCR is almost purely algorithmic and it shouldn't depend much on the OS.
8.0 is deprecated, 8.1 has replaced it.
