Re: [AI] OCR conversion results not accurate
Hi, Can say from my experience that OpenBook works particularly well with pages having multiple columns. I personally don't like the way FindReader handles those kind of pages, I use openbook for that purpose.

Dear Rahul I too face the same problem whenever there are two or more columns in a page. May be once you can see by converting into searchable text in pdf in stead of docx or rtf.

Dear Friend, Kindly send me a sample pdf on my email id, sameer.la...@gmail.com Regards Mr. Sameer Latey Mumbai, India -Original Message- From: Rahul Bajaj Sent: 25 November, 2017 3:03 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] OCR conversion results not accurate Hi Everyone, I am sure this has been discussed multiple times on the list before, but I'd nonetheless be grateful if someone could help me with this.
