I am actually very impressed with the text cloner's OCR abilities. It
doesn't work as well with photocopied materials or certain faxed materials,
but its overall OCR quality is very good and the program is easily navigated
with JFW. As for the other two programs I have, yes they are as good as open
book's OCR capabilities if not better. The programs are Abbyy Fine Reader
version 8.0 and OmniPage Pro 14.0.
For the money and for day to day scanning, the text cloner is the way to go.
Take care,
John
