I agree, RTF is always better than plain text. Then edit in Word or LO Writer.

And Finereader is good, some version of Tesseract is next best.

But it's years since I've done OCR. I still have the same Epson Perfection 1200 as maybe since 2002 or 2003 (on SCSI) but on Linux now instead of XP.
I've also a newish massive Brother MF duplex colour laser-copier-scanner, and I don't think there is any advantage with it for OCR. I only have the Brother drivers on the Linux Mint. All the applications are from Mint Distro, Mate version.

I gave up installing "bundled SW" about 15 years ago on Windows. Often outdated, cut down or simply poor versions of the real thing.
