[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1805081, member: 190607"] The very best OCR program on any platform is OmniPage Pro, which is no longer available for the Mac, it is now Windows only. (I keep a really old Mac running an old Mac OS mostly just to run the last Mac version of OmniPage Pro for the Mac.) The full OmniPage Pro OCR engine is in Nuance's "PDF-Converter", a full-featured PDF editor for the Mac. The problem is that Nuance is such a horrible company that I couldn't in good conscience recommend purchasing any of their products.

You can Google the reviews. AdobeAcrobat Pro for the Mac includes really good OCR, but the software is ridiculously expensive. The best choice for the Macintosh is probably Abbyy FineReader, which I understand has developed into a very good product (I haven't tried it myself): [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OL280LE/?tag=macforums0e4-20[/URL] [/QUOTE]
