Hi,
Any recommendations for OCR software (preferably Windows 2000 - spit!) that'll
allow the user to read from a image file rather than the software being
incorporated with scanner software?
Pete kindly loaned me a whole pile of documentation, and I can get it back to
him far quicker if I can just scan all the pages as TIFF images for now and
worry about passing it through OCR software at a later date!
It would also be nice if said software was a) free :) and b) able to
automatically recurse through a directory tree (or at least run from the
command line without user input so that I can script that)
Distributed Proofers seems to prefer Abbey Finereader, but it also costs
money. It apparently does very well with images that others choke on.
