[Trainer-Talk] Prefered OCR software?

[rjaquiss]

Hello:

     It is my understanding that Abbyy Finereader is one of the components
in Kurzweil K1000 and OpenBook. If it will work for you I would continue
using it. I do not know how accessible Abbyy is. 

Regards,

Robert

Subject: [Trainer-Talk] Prefered OCR software?

Hi all,
Our center is looking to upgrade our OCR software package. In the past we
used Open Book and Text Cloner Pro. What software are people using to teach
OCR to clients?

I really like Abbyy Fine Reader because of the ability to convert to a
variety of formats, including spreadsheets but am wondering if there are
others that are better.

Thanks for any advice.

Best,
Greg
