Abby Finereader is cheap and very good and fast. Version 10 ist the newest one, but you can get Version 9 for about $50 on ebay or Amazon. I use it myself since years.

I have a new Win7 machine and a new HP printer with a scanning program that will not read OCR. My old Dell printer would scan to a word document and could be read by Window-Eyes, but the HP program will not do this.
I really don't have $1,000 to spend on an OCR program but could really use one. Thanks for any ideas. Brenda On 4/28/2011 10:03 AM, David wrote: OK? And what if you happen to be the owner of OmniPage? Sure it could do the trick as well. Or, I guess, even PaperPort. In short, you need what is called an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. And there is a few of them on the market. Some more accessible, some far more expensive, some cheaper but still accessible, and some useless.
