[Athen] [EXT] alternatives to Abby Fine Reader

[info at karlencommunications.com]

The on-board OCR in Acrobat is horrid! I always recommend using either ABBYY
or OmniPage.

 

Cheers, Karen

In my opinion, Adobe's OCR is never enough. It does a very poor job from my
experience.

 

Another option that has always been good is Omni Page Pro. I haven't used it
in years, but I still hear good reports.

Hello all, with Abby Fine Reader moving to a subscription model I've been
looking for other options to OCR trouble textbooks and documents. I'm just
curious what you're using for fixing docs and books where Adobe Pro OCR
isn't enough.

 

Thank you all,
