Hello Janardhana, There have been significant improvements in recognition accuracy between fine reader v8 and fine reader v10 so go for v10.
To answer your earlier question about scanning applications, comparing programs like Kurzweil and Fine Reader is like comparing apples to oranges. Kurzweil and Open Book are dedicated applications for the blind. Fine Reader is meant for the sighted mass market. In terms of recognition accuracy, both Kurzweil and Open book use Fine Reader's engine under the hood but both include other recognition engines too. The choice of applications depends on your needs. If you need to scan read simultaneously, then you should go for a specialized application. If, however you are content with scanning and reading later, then Fine Reader could be an option worth investigating. You need to compare the features of the various applications and see which ones you want. Another factor is the kind of material you will scan. If you scan material with a lot of screen shots or material when you need to extract text from images, you need to probably go for a specialized OCR program since Fine Reader, in my experience does not always recognize the text inside pictures. Of course, you could take the images from a Fine Reader scan, run them through a program like the Dolphin Easy Converter and get all the text in that document. Could you please define your scanning needs? That may help us give you a better answer. Pranav To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
