Hi Mike
Unfortunately, they no longer ofer a demo. They did several years ago,
but they have removed it since then. I don't know why.
Yes I use it, and do so regularly. I get much better results with it
than any of the Windows OCR packages--particularly the so-called
accessible ones such as Kurzweil and Openbook, as their engines are
usually a bit dated by the time they are released. Naturally, OCR
results vary depending on what you are scanning and what the quality of
the image is, but I've scanned some pretty difficult things with Read
Iris and it hasn't let me down in over three years of using it.
I don't actually like to scan with it, I use VueScan and Read Iris
together to perform my OCR--VueScan takes care of the scanning, and then
passes it to Read Iris for recognition. What I like about this setup is
I can use my scanner buttons, so I can scan multiple pages without
touching the keyboard.
