Is there a sticky post with how to make ocr?. 
Obviously the pdf in android or ipad is very slow.
I only want, at least to read in the mac. The pdf file without ocr only has 20% of cpu use.
Thank you. |
I haven't tried out Abbyy Finereader 12 as yet, but I have noticed that quicker ocr-ing and better compression (smaller files) of Abbyy 11 usually means somewhat slower pdf rendering than for Abbyy 10's files (on e-book readers and tablets), so I usually use Adobe Acrobat's 11 ClearScan mode.
Maybe you could simultaneously use both pdfs, un-ocred and ocred (pure text rather than ocred pdf image), as you would use additional dictionaries, audio players etc. while reading.
Un-ocred for quicker reading (and handwriting without highlighting) another one for searching and word definitions.
