[NTLUG:Discuss] Good OCR Software

[Kenneth Loafman]

I was asked during the main meeting about good OCR software and I could
not remember the name.  ABBYY Finereader is the package that is the best
we found (100,000 pages scanned per product in our tests of the top 5
products).  This was done about 4 years ago, so something better may
have come along since then, but I doubt it.

http://www.abbyy.com/ 		- main site
http://finereader.abbyy.com/	- the OCR product

Even at the best, you're still looking at no better than about 97%
accuracy on a good print copy.

...Thanks,
...Ken
