I purchased FineReader 9.0 Pro. It recognizes headers and footers, which can be omitted in the saved document (e.g. .rtf .doc) I am still in the learning and refining stages of converting 250 page books to Sony ebooks. I found that saving the FineReader output to .rtf/formatted text creates a much cleaner input for Book Designer. It retains the formatting, but does not create unwanted paragraphs and hard returns.

I continue to be amazed with the accuracy of FineReader. I am using the Pattern learning options for some misread characters. An example is the italized "I" being misinterpreted as a slash, "/" With the Pattern learning, I now get the correct "I"

FineReader can also automatically split dual pages at the time of the initial scan. You do not have to manually split them afterward.

A big reminder I found on Amazon (a customer review) is that you can buy the FineReader Pro 9.0 Upgrade if you have any other OCR licensed software. It saves quite a bit of money.
