Optical Character Reader is 98% accurate at 300 DPI text

This app is easy to use. I used it with my Epson scanner using Mac OS X Image Capture app. You scan in at 300 dpi with such scanning software and display the scan as big as you can get it on the screen. Having the scanned text open in Preview.app is best. Then you switch to Condense and select the scanned text. Within a few seconds the text is recognized and sent to your computer’s memory. Then I pasted it into Word. VERY accurate with higher definition scanning and large screen display. Smaller dpi scans and smaller screen size makes for innacurate character recognition.

I have to reformat the text, with a little spell checking, but 15 pages of text were accurately scanned in a few minutes. Go to Condense’s menu and check run in Menubar. Then you can switch from scan software to Condense from the top menubar of your desktop.

Of course, I would like to see Condense maintain the original text’s format. Perhaps that may follow. Very good usability at a very good price.
