[blindlaw] Batch Recognition of OCR

Sat Sep 2 21:02:54 UTC 2017

Thanks. To my knowledge, K1000 does not perform the mass conversion of docs
from pdf to accessible format or to Word that people were discussing, unless
there is a feature that I have missed. However, just in terms of accuracy I
have genrally been happy with it.

It looks like K1000 uses the Finereader Engine under the covers, so it
should still be pretty good.
