Update for you all:

I've put a feature comparison matrix for the major OCR software players on my blog:
http://www.ocrreview.com

I don't think I'll attempt that again with WordPress though

I've added the formatting testing to the site for your consumption - thought it could be useful considering the content of this post so far...

Tesseract OCR - Open Source - get a frontend here http://softi.co.uk/tess.htm

Hi guys

I was searching for some info for a review that I'm doing on the current batch of OCR software and this post came up!
I haven't seen this site before, but I've had a bit of a poke around now - very interesting and useful stuff..

If you are interested, the review will be posted at http://www.ocrreview.com.

I've already posted some of the testing results there for Adobe Acrobat 8, ABBY Finereader 8 Pro, Omnipage Pro 16 and IRIS ReadIris Pro 11 Corporate ed..
The formatting of converted docs was an area I particularly wanted to test, and there was quite a bit of difference between them.


Any feedback and suggestions would be appreciated!
