ABBYY FineReader Express

Spinup reviewed on 18 Nov 2009

Best OCR recognition on the documents I've tried -- especially on poor quality scans, it blew the competition away (Acrobat 8 and VelOCRaptor 1.1.242). The tools to tweak the recognition after the first pass are very welcome.

One thing that would improve it is an option to crop the pages, but Preview took care of that.

VelOCRaptor

Spinup reviewed on 17 Nov 2009

The description seems accurate -- on high quality images, it seemed to do a better job than Acrobat 8, since it properly grouped letters into words. On low quality images, where Acrobat produced poor output, this tool failed badly, producing gibberish.

Would be nice if it had some simple editing tools to fix suspected bad OCR reads, and to automatically straighten rotated images.

Bottom line -- if you need a simple tool to quickly get high quality scanned images into editable text, this app will save you some time.

[Version 1.1.242]
