Epson V600, OCR and Editing Text

I have Os X 10.10, Yosemite, Epson Perfection V6 Scanner and documents in .pdf. The scanner came with ABBY Fine Reader, but when I try to launch it, it doesn't appear. Should I install the latest driver for Epson and upgrade to High Sierra? Any ideas about how I can edit scanned documents without upgrading?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Image Capture has wrong scanner model showing I am using High Sierra OS, Image Capture and a basic Epson V39 scanner. Recently the Epson software for updating drivers popped into action and told me to update the software. I believed it and did so. But now the V39 shows up inside Image Capture as Epson V600 and it refuses to preview or scan. Just endlessly spinning cog wheel. In Printers and Scanners Prefs, the scanner is listed correctly as a V39. I spent an hour or more with Epson call center in Philippines, finally uninstalling everything. Doing a Finder Search does not show any other Epson names. But the problem remains. In any case, Image Capture does not require the driver anyway, as I discovered for the first time ever (so ignorant!) by plugging the scanner into my Macbook Pro which does not have any Epson drivers on it. Image Capture on the MBP worked perfectly with the V39. Anyone have any idea what I can do to resolve this problem? I need the scanner to work on my desktop Mac Mini.

Have you checked the App Store for an update? It shows it is compatible with 10.9 or newer.
