Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap version 5.5 currently runs on Apple Silicon Macs through Rosetta 2 translation, but no native Apple Silicon version has been released yet. Based on the search results, ABBYY historically takes a long time to update their Mac applications for new hardware architectures. Since this is specialized software that's bundled with ScanSnap scanners and maintained by ABBYY (an active company), you should continue using the current version while monitoring ABBYY's support site for future native updates. The app appears to be actively supported with compatibility updates, so a native version may eventually be released, though no timeline has been announced.
