[Trainer-Talk] Prefered OCR software?

[Deborah Armstrong]

Abbyy's engine is part of K1000, but not its format conversion tool. It is reasonably accessible but an update will not necessarily improve that. K1000 uses tools built in to Word to do more advanced document conversions.

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

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
