Q: I need a good Optical Character Recognition program for a MacBook running Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard). I would like suggestions for a scanner and OCR software that is reliable. Thanks!
A: I can only pass on my experience with windows ocr. Omnipage Pro is an excellent choice, but I've found Abby Finereader to be better for my applications. However, only Omnipage offers a Mac version. By the way, the program costs $500, or you can buy the upgrade version for $150. This means if you have any licsenced ocr software, no matter what brand, they will give you their full version at the discounted price. I got the omnipage se version free with my scanner, so I saved $350. I recommend others do the same. As for scanners, they are all get the same results to my un-technical eye, just some do it faster or easier. Also, consider a digital camera for scanning. See http://snapter.atiz.com/ and http://www.atiz.com/ for various applications. Omnipage specifically supports this. Cheers, Jason
