Kay, I use TextGrabber and Prizmo. And yes, I get excellent results. Mind you, tables, columns, and difficult layout, may still pose a problem for these OCR apps. Plus, none of them are very good at recognising print on a multicoloured background. But for straight forward text they are really very good. It will depend upon your particular needs. However, these two apps do compliment each other very well.
