Re: Scanner and OCR software

At my last place of employment, we used a high speed scanner (a Cannon
scanner - like the Canon 3622B002, which is no longer made), and used ABBYY
FineReader, but had OMNIPage, and Kurzweil 3000 available. I remember the
cannon could hit around 200 PPM, but our best results were around 80-90
PPM. This was in 2008-2010 time frame, so most of our customers were
students, and were grateful for a Word version - versus a fully compliant
version. I recall messing with putting headings in, but forget how the
results were.
