Dear Vikas, I checked my Vodafone bill that is secured and password protected by Vodafone when sent through email just after reading your input below. I could read the bill period, amount due, bill period, my name and so on. The voice accent is too bad and some discrepancies like "Voclafone", "8 Wind" instead of "B Wing", etc.
Note that it produces different results when you scan Screen, Window and Control - not fair and needs improvement. Also press CTRL+1 to set the document to actual size and then try scanning. One more pain point is that you need to scroll the pages manually, the OCR scans only what appears on screen.

I've used the demo on this year's Form 16 with some degree of success, Mphasis distributes Form 16 in a protected form and was totally inaccessible till last year. Though everything it read out was not correct, I could interpret it to a certain extent and was also able to validate the digital signature on it without sighted assistance. I believe it can be improved for more accuracy in the coming versions. Someone on the list may share their experience with the OCR coming with NVDA please.
