I use PDF Converter Pro version 7.x from Nuance - same family as
OmniPage. There are three options:
1. Scan documents into an "image" pdf
2. Scan into a "searchable" pdf
3. Scan into a "searchable & editable" pdf
Then you convert the document from pdf into Word (.doc), WordPerfect,
RichText (.rtf), or Excel format. Or you can highlight the pdf contents
and paste them into your other program (ie: AOO or LO).
My version 7 is old. Nuance announced a sale on version 8, which is the
current version. Normally @ $99.99, right now they're advertising
$69.99 (but not on the home page), and I found prices under $50 using
Google.

Does anyone have a suggestion/recommendation for an OCR application? I
have two huge notebooks I would like to scan in and convert to
documents. I realize there will probably be some editing to do
afterwards, but it would be better than typing in everything. I used
to use TextBridge when I was using Word years ago.
This is for Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
