No, I haven't tried this one yet, but will definitely do so.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Subject: easy-to-use and inexpensive program for converting scanned image
PDF files into Word or text documents
Hi, folks.
I am a bit hesitant to bring this up again, since I'm partly responsible for
the earlier thread on this topic, but I am looking for an easy-to-use and
inexpensive program for converting scanned image PDF files into Microsoft
Word or text files.
I need to be able to do this at work, since I am getting a fair number of
PDF scanned image documents that I need to deal with.
Some on the list here have recommended omnipage, and processtext, but I am
reluctant to spend the money on them without trying some sort of a demo
first. But, no demo seems to be available for either program.
I do have an old version of the Kurzweil K1000 software, but am getting away
from it, since most of the documents I use at work are electronically sent,
rather than in hard copy.
Just for the record, I am currently using Windows XP and Jaws 11.
I may be upgrading to Windows 7 when I purchase a new home PC, so want
whatever software I get to work with that system as well if possible.
Thanks for all of your help and patience.
Tom Behler in Colorado
