KNFB Reader for Windows 10 in this first version does not hold a candle to any other OCR solution on Windows! Granted, I'm comparing an inexpensive option with a very expensive one, but if KNFB intends to be a real option in the Windows computing world, they have an extremely long way to go. I have a Toshiba Satellite S 55 laptop running Windows 10 Anniversary edition and a Canon LIDE 110 flatbed scanner.
I just scanned the same page with OpenBook 9 and KNFB Reader for Windows 10. As far as speed goes, KNFB Reader and Openbook tied. They both start reading before the scanner is ready for the next page. KNFB Reader can export to DOCX files, while OpenBook still exports to DOC files, the older MS-Word format. When I open the KNFB Reader DOCX file, I get the warning that files from the internet can harm your computer and I have to hit f6 to get to the point of being able to make the document editable. With OpenBook, it simply opens in compatibility view. Both pages passed the spell check without any errors. Now, for my pet Peeve. The KNFB Reader file takes up 2.81 inches of the document. The OpenBook copy takes up 6.37 inches of the document, which is correct. The page has just over half a page of text. OpenBook maintains the line breaks, while KNFB Reader does not. For what it is worth, I also tested with the latest versions of TextGrabber and Prizmo on the iPhone. "" They both maintain line breaks and had no errors. Prizmo has some new VoiceOver issues in their latest version, but Textgrabber seems to be much improved. I'll have to test that more. It is far less smooth for saving files, etc., but I'm getting really tired of losing all the line breaks with KNFB Reader.
