Hi, I'm looking for a free OCR program that I can use to scan mixed
image + text documents. I've searched this group and AFAIK I haven't
seen any OCR recommendations specific to this requirement. The images
may be lines/graphs, grayscale or colour, although colour is rare.

Some of the documents might be blurry (photocopies of photocopies of
photocopies...)

Thanks for any suggestions.

In the UK a full and free version of ReadIrisPro is on the cover disk of
the September issue of PC Pro. It also appears regularly on other cover
CDs.

Anyone use this OCR software
in conjunction with PDF995 (which is
also FREE?)

I just wondered if it provided QUALITY
OCR or just jumbled mush like SIMPLE-OCR?

Says it works on ALL Windows platforms.

It's not freeware, it's adware:

"The free version of OmniFormat will display a sponsor page in your web
browser each time you launch the software. If you would prefer not to
see sponsor pages, you may purchase a license key for either an
individual or a workgroup. If converting Word formats, a Pdf995 sponsor
key is also required in order to bypass sponsor pages."

I'm also interested in getting a free copy of this program. Where is the
download link?
