Hi:
 
I have never needed to just scan part of a page so I don't need to be a able
to draw lines around the text.
All the functions such as choosing how many columns, choosing whether the
source is a scan or a pdf file, and starting a scan, are in the menus. Their
manual is also very readable.

How do you draw boxes around the text you want to OCR, or exclude things you
don't want OCR'd without a mouse? How do you initially get the scan to start
without clicking the Scan Greyscale button at the top? I haven't been able
to figure those ones out.
 
I don't like to just let Omnipage OCR recognize everything but I don't OCR
page numbers that way I don't have to strip headings later. I just put the
page numbers in myself. And too often it wants to recognize things as a
table and I find it faster and less work to tell it what to do before it
OCRs than I do to clean it up later.
