The problem I'm encountering is that if I save the OCRed file in doc or rtf formats, the text is saved inside of textboxes which hinders additional editing within MS Word. My thought was to open the OCRed file in Word to ultimately save it as an html file (my limited version of Omnipage does not allow me to save it as html) as per HarryT's suggestion of format of choice. If I save the file as txt, all formatting is lost. I would prefer to not have to spend $200 to upgrade to Omnipage 16 if at all possible. Any suggestions? |
I believe that some other member in this thread tested and found a preference for the ABBYY FineReader 10, both in performance and cost-wise, to the Omnipage 16 upgrade. There is (or was) a great half-price sale going on offering the FineReader UPGRADE for half-price. Didn't your accompanying disk that contained Omnipage also contain the ABBYY Sprite 6 version, from which you could upgrade to the Pro 10? The Pro 10 handles Word to HTML conversion fine (although I myself stick with txt conversion and edit it).
