Ah...I didn't need to give my email and this is not a demo.

I just bought a Mac running Lion and of course my older, expensive, Omni Page OCR software was no longer supported due to Apple asinine decision to drop Rosetta emulation. So, I had to scramble to find a quick and cheap alternative and wow, this did the job! For Free! I also downloaded OCRTools from the app store for $4.99 and than worked well also, maybe just sightly better.

By free, do you mean the 14-day trial period?

What? You cannot download the demo without giving them your email address? Lame.

No thanks, there're plenty of other choices.

"there're plenty of other choices" : I really doubt it. If there's one category lacking in Mac OS software, it's professional OCR tools.

Apparently, this software does *not* run on PPC.

Preview is searchable and text selectable --- what does this do that preview does not?

Response from the developer indicates that it works on pictures and pdf's -- makes text editable (not just selectable). They also clarified "searchable" --- it makes text within pdf's and images subject to spotlight searches--- just like other documents.
