Like Finereader 11 treated me well for years, and Finereader 12 came out about a month ago, and it is a "'lukewarm' update". Some things are better, some things are worse.
Just because development stopped on 11 doesn't magically mean that everyone should jump ship because it is trash and should be never touched again! (It is STILL damn good software that helped me digitize ~200 books).
Currently, if you are in the market for OCR, I would actually recommend purchasing Finereader 11 instead!

This whole "cloud software" thing that many companies are trying to push now (Adobe, Microsoft), no thanks!
I don't want to pay monthly/yearly fees for some proprietary software that I may have zero access to, and will break if I refuse to pay for their next "upgrade".

Indeed. I always forget this (since I don't use Microsoft Word).
In many cases, I actually prefer working from THIS exported code, than working from Calibre's "Calibre#", "block#", "text#" classes.
