I use to think that too until I ran the same book one with tesseact and with ABBYY.

There is no comparison, ABBYY is just so superior. ABBYY has a very low error rate, detects images and leaves them as such, converts tables perfectly and even handles white spaces.

There are some images Tesseact does work great with but as a general OCR program this tool leaves a lot to be desired.
