Have you tried uploading to Google Docs? That does OCR now. :-)

Subject: OCR software
Does anybody have any recommendations for OCR software? I have tried both ReadIRIS and Adobe Acrobat and neither has produced great results with older typed theses.
Many thanks,

Hi Beccy
At BCU we tend to use Abbyy FineReader - also relatively cheap. More below...

Hope this helps!
