To be honest, almost every time I have tried to OCR something (even a
pristine original), it was simply faster and more accurate to type it
in myself. I don't know why but I have been singularly unimpressed
with OCR software. Obviously lots of people do OCR, but the amount of
rework and editing necessary to get high accuracy is just as much work
as typing it in yourself for someone like me that is a fast touch
typer.
