0 n_K Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Fujitsu I think? Used to give free OCR software away when you bought a scanner, no idea if it's free to download off their site or what but you could have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Deep_Level_Shark Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Have you tried this? http://www.softpedia...s/FreeOCR.shtml the link says .... The conversion quality is not so great. also this requires page to save first and then do a OCR ......whereas in ABBY you can do OCR on the fly ...i.e you launch application and then you select a area and you click OCR to get the text.......This will useful for web pages which you dont require to save.
