Question:
I’m looking for an OCR freeware download. Can you recommend one, and are there any advantages to paying for OCR software?

Answer:
OCR freeware downloads are a good choice if you have a small number of files to OCR and if you aren’t looking for a top-of-the line product. For some users, the limited functionality of OCR freeware downloads is perfectly sufficient. Our online PDF compression tool can convert files of various types to searchable PDF files, and doesn’t even require a download.

Commercial OCR software tends to be more accurate than OCR freeware downloads, and is a lot faster. Our Maestro Recognition Server includes the most accurate OCR engine on the market, and can process 3 pages per second.
