I tested OCRKit (Pro) and here is what I found:
Pros:
- App just starts and creates the output file (may be useful for batch processing).

Cons:
- There is no documentation for app preferences. You should figure out each option by yourself.
- RTF and HTML outputs produce unformatted text. Only PDF output preserves formatting, but you can't fix any errors as well.
- Most of the resulting PDFs are just image PDFs and even if some words are recognized, PDF is not searchable.
- If you need to OCR image PDFs or screenshot images made on a 1080p display, then just look for another OCR software.
- There are no options to teach the app about screen fonts used in the image, so it may produce better results.
- There is no Preview or some kind of Editor. What should I do with all those poorly recognized PDFs. I may easily fix RTF or HTML output, but without preserved text formatting, they are useless.
- For the price of $50 (or $60 for the Pro version) one would expect to receive a decent product, not just a command line utility with only a few options.

My recommendation is first test this app, before going to purchase it.
