HI list,

I get tens if not hundreds of scanned documents at work which have not been 
OCR-ed. I've been trialling a number of OCR programs recently. I've been really 
impressed with ABBYY Fine Reader, which seems to produce much better results 
than Prizmo or even Docuscan Plus. However, manually converting each document 
takes far too much of my time.

I've heard much in the mainstream media, particularly from the Mac Power Users 
podcast, about automating the OCR process. They use PDFPen, Apple Script and 
Hazel to automatically OCR things. However, I just tried to OCR a document with 
PDFPen Pro and couldn't even do it manually. The OCR Document button was greyed 
out, and forcing it with command-option keys didn't seem to work.

So, does anyone else have any ideas for how to automate the OCR process? 
Ideally using ABBYY Fine Reader as that seems to be the most accurate engine 
I've tested.

Many thanks for any ideas.

Cheers,
Nic
