[bcab] FineReader OCR

Hi

I have recently been doing some tests with FineReader OCR on difficult to read 
material - text over coloured backgrounds and photographs. (Specifically the 
backs of paperback books).

I have been using both FineReader 7 and FineReader 8. Oddly enough, 7 performs 
this much better than 8 - it is faster and far, far more accurate (often 100%!).

I have also found that successive scans on my cheapo Xerox flatbed scanner give 
different errors, so I assume this is down to fluctuations in the scanner's 
physical performance. Successive photos with a digital camera do not give this 
problem.

I would be deeply interested to hear of anyone elses experiences, experiments 
and setups for OCR.

Regards
Tony
