Omnipage Pro works nicely, will read/scan just about anything ( I'm using it
to slowly OCR stuff the PDFs from the SPIES archive ) Unfortunatly it costs
a bundle. You gets what you pay for.

Subject: OCR'ing old manuals
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)
cheers
Jules
