(Competitor's Sales Managers please note - ABBYY seems to be about the only OCR software suppliers offering an evaluation version. I was impressed with the features of the evaluation version, and quickly arranged to purchase a copy.

Not long after that I became aware that ABBYY were selling their new FineReader PRO 9.0 locally. It was a "no contest" decision to store the Epson Scanner in the shed, but continue to use Sprint 6.0 with the Canon 8800F!! Now I had the best of both worlds. The downside was that, for my purposes, the bundled Omnipage SE 4.0 was a lot "clumsier" than FineReader. However the very long "warm up" time of the Epson, made scanning a frustrating exercise for multi-page text documents, and it was quickly replaced by a Canoscan 8800F with virtually no warm up time. However, now I could send the results direct to a Word File which opened automatically, after recognition was completed. The "error count" was about the same as for Sprint 4. The choice was heavily influenced by the fact that it gave me both the slide copy feature, and ABBYY FineReader Sprint 6. rtf format.Ī need for a better scanner with a photo slide copying attachment led to purchase of an Epson V350. Sprint 4 was also able to reproduce formatting of the original, and save the results in. Wow!! The error count now averaged only about 2-4 per page. The new scanner (a Mustek 1200UB) came bundled with ABBYY FineReader Sprint version 4. However, eventually, upgrading to a newer version of Windows rendered both the scanner and OCR software obsolete.
That improved the "error count" to about 8-10 per page.
About a year later I graduated to my first commercial OCR, (TypeReader Pro 4).
