I’m looking to install an OCR package on my Mac Mini to facilitate scanning paper documents and photocopy generated PDFs. In searching in the MacOS store for “FineReader” I got two results. The first is “FineReader OCR Pro” ($119.95) and “OCR Kit” ($35.95); my question to this list is this; is the first worth almost $85.00 more than the second?
Have any of you had experience with Finereader OCR Pro or OCR Kit? Has anybody had experience with both? Or, possibly, there are yet other OCR packages that my search didn’t render; other packages that may very well to be a “better bang for the buck” than either of the two I’ve identified in this e-mail? I can afford the $119.95 for the ABBY product, but I don’t really care to pay for functionality that will likely never be used. I’m looking for this for my personal home use so “state of the art” isn’t really essential. But then, I don’t want to buy the less costly option only to find that it will not offer functions such as letting me open image files online to convert to something a screen reader can recognize. I hope I’ve outlined my dilemma here satisfactorily and would appreciate any thoughts, suggestions and related experiences in this matter.
