[Athen] alternatives to Abby Fine Reader

[foreigntype at gmail.com]

OmnipagePro is one of three OCR software packages in my toolbox for
alt-text conversion. OmnipagePro and ABBYY FineReader are not
interchangeable. AbbyyFR does a better job with text-based subject matter
conversions and foreign languages while OPP is my choice for science and
figures-based texts.

Too bad AFR went to a subscription based product. They'll likely lose more
customers.
