So far, I'm very pleased. I had been using PDFPen, but it repeatedly crashes or freezes. In my limited experience with OCRKit it has performed flawlessly (on a 22-page document that consistently made PDFPen crash).

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?

due to Omni Page's asinine decision not to update old technology.

Fixed it for you.

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.
