[blindlaw] Batch Recognition of OCR

[Aaron Cannon]

I believe AbbYY Finereader Corporate (not Standard) version has this capability. FineReader also tends to win in accuracy against OmniPage in head-to-head tests.

Does anyone know of a program that can do this type of automated batch OCR conversion? Right now, I have to initiate the OCR process with a command for each document and rename the new document to the same filename as the original PDF with a .docx estension. This is not an efficient use of my time. Thanks.
