Well, curious to know whether there is a Hindi OCR software! For combined with SAFA and Vachak, it may prove a boon to blind persons using Hindi or other regional languages for their studies who I suppose far outnumber us--English using folks.
Fine reader, as far as I know, does not have OCR capacity for Hindi or any Indian language in its vast repertoire of 179 languages.
