Now RC is back up I can answer my own question. I got my wife to register with them and this time I paid careful attention to what used up her 3 page free trial. As suggested by others on this thread zooming-in on a page is considered to be a download. As the small thumbnail is far too small to see it is impossible to judge whether to zoom-in or not. The OCR translation only happens after you zoom-in and highlight an article. So the PAYG forty page option is unusable for my project. I will consider which subscription model to use. Thanks to all for contributing.

To be fair they do provide a snippet, if you decide to go ahead and 'view' the full image then its available on your screen and you will get all the info - which is what they are selling.
Boo

By snippet do you mean a thumbnail view of all the pages? If so, it is not possible to read the page to see if it has the relevant information. My problem is I thought the free trial would allow me to assess this prepaid option and I wasn't really paying enough attention. Suddenly I had nothing left in my free trial.

I could not find a board that seemed appropriate for this query so have posted here.

BNA have a PAYG option where you pay in advance for forty downloads. That dip in and out option looks good for my intended use BUT I took their free trial (3 pages download) and it seemed to me that selecting a page to zoom in consituted a download even though I did not hit the download button.  I would very quickly run through my 40 pages if that is the case. Unfortunately I have used up my free trial so I cannot confirm/reject that theory. I am hoping I am wrong and that you can zoom up pages to check before deciding whether to download the page. Can any BNA users confirm/reject that theory?

Thanks, I've now downloaded the software, but it doesn't seem to want to know a .mov file. It flashes up on the screen for a millisecond and is then replaced by traffic cone!
I get the same thing (without traffic cone) with Irfan view which I tried first

VLC reads .mov files so that is very strange. Tested one again just now in case they had dropped support but it opened and played without a problem. Traffic cone is standard and indicates there is no video playing.

Thanks Biggles. Having re-examined her shared match lists with me I think you are correct. A match will only be shown if I match them by 20cM or more irrespective of the level of her match.
