Re: Can the Mac OCR an image file?

Abbyy FineReader was replaced by FineReader PDF, but I’ve not yet bought that to discover its accessibility. Of course, though not using the same intelligence present in macOS, it is very good at turning documents into formatted text and is made for the purpose. You’ll probably want to use a
