Can anyone recommend a good OCR software that doesn't cost too much?

I want to scan a document and convert text to a Word file. I can find very few options when it comes to OCR software for macs. I don't want to pay too much as I won't be using enough to warrant a high price. But I don't want to key-in a lot of copy by hand. All the reviews I found are from over a year ago. Any suggestions for recent OCR versions?
Thanks!

  • Can anyone recommend a good phishing extension that works on the macintosh version of firefox?

    I'm working with an older lady who keeps giving up her password because her older lady friends keep sending her links. I think she finally gets not to click on the links but she is now very, very paranoid and would like that added security of a anti-phishing extension/add-on in Firefox. I looked a few of them but wasn't certain which one would work best for her based on using a Mac.

  • Can anyone recommend a good app for designing and printing labels?

    I have just switched from pc to mac and have pages on my macbook but it does not have a label function (please apple sort this out its the only major flaw!) so can anyone recommend a good app that will do what a pc does? I do not really want to pay £85+ for office for mac just for the word program

    One way to find an app at the App Store is to use keywords.
    Type   print labels   in the search field top right corner of the App Store window then press Enter or Return on your keyboard.
    Click one of the apps listed. Always check Requirements under Information and definitely read customer reviews before purchasing and make sure there is a support link available in case you need to contact the app developer for questions.
    This forum is mainly for troubleshooting the App Store.
    For feedback for software designed for printing labels, try posting your topic in the Mac OS X community here.

  • Can anyone recommend a good audio analyzer beside Waves PAZ & SpectraFoo

    Can anyone recommend a good audio analyzer beside Waves PAZ & SpectraFoo.
    Inspector is not what search. It should be exacting.
    Thanks martin

    Hello Martin. I use Elemental Audio's Inspector XL and it works great for me, especially the K-System metering and FFT analyzer. I wish you could resize the FFT window. Now that it is a roger nichols digital product it requires ilok. The other analyzers that I considered before choosing inspector xl were paz (blah), spetrafoo (too much too soon, but maybe later), audioease periscope (not universal binary yet, no k-system), and bias master perfection suite's reveal (also not universal binary yet and works only inside peak and no k-system.) All of this info is from the north american summer so it is probably out of date. My favorite analyzer is Steinberg's Wavelab, it is very configurable and it's easy to setup for monitoring your stereo mix thru another computer, but it is windows only.
    It sounds like you really need one of these...
    http://www.cedaraudio.com/products/products.html
    One of these pro tools plugins allows you to select and modify fft just like other software allows selection and editing of waveforms. Awesome. EXPENSIVE!

  • Can anyone recommend a good 2TB external drive for my iMac 10.9 ?

    can anyone recommend a good 2TB external drive for my iMac 10.9 ?

    The Griffin Survivor is a military-grade case that I use. It's $40 and I purchased it at Best Buy. It has a rubber piece that covers the charging port, but can be easily removed for charging while still in the case. The only downside of the case is because of the added girth, it makes the iPod unusable with iHomes or other docks unless you take it out of the case.

  • Can anyone recommend a good instruction book for intermediate Mac users?

    I have been using Mac for 3 years now so am not a total beginner, but still need help in many areas of OS X use. These forums are brilliant and thanks to the willing help from more expert members I have learnt a lot ( thank you), however there are times when just having a book open in front of you is the easiest way to get to grips with something. Can anyone recommend a good user manual for people like me who don't need a real beginners guide but also don't want a mind numbing, in depth, advanced text. I already have Maria Langers Visual Quickstart Guide which is useful but is exactly what it says, a quick start, and David Pogues Missing Manual which I find a little frustrating as he seems to fall short of explaining exactly how to do something after he says it can be done!
    I guess what I am really after is a clearly written book that is good for beginners and more advanced users alike, with screen shots to show you what you should be doing.
    Grateful for any suggestions.
    macbook white 2ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   512mb ram and 60gig hard drive,

    Hi again,
    Many thanks for the feedback and the star!
    For troubleshooting, Dr Smoke's Troubleshooting Mac OS X eBook is invaluable. Again, I have the Panther edition. I haven't, yet, felt the need for the Tiger edition with so many of the tips available free via his FAQs.
    The only drawback, of course, is that when one is in a fix and possibly unable to boot up, the e-book isn't accessible unless one has a copy on another Mac.
    Have fun,
    Adrian

  • Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript for flash?

    Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript
    for flash?
    Intermediate level
    I have been using flash for about 2 years more as a hobby
    than anything else, some websites etc but now I realise I am going
    to need to learn more actionscripting to do what I want, I have
    come to terms with the simple stuff like goto – basic
    variables – load mov – enough to programme up website
    navigation.
    I ideally want to learn more about the dynamic side of flash,
    mostly for designing user interfaces and websites etc
    I’m after a book that doesn’t get too heavy too
    fast yet I’m a little past the more basic functions
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers

  • Can anyone recommend a good messenger bag for a macbook air 13?

    Can anyone recommend a good messenger bag for a macbook air 13"?

    I agree with Shldr,
    I have a MBA 11" and a MBA 13", and use that one for my 13" Air, and the smaller version for my 11".
    I have spent at least $600 chasing down the perfect bag(s). There isn't one, AFAIK. The Incase bags are my favorite.
    I do prefer the older version of that bag though (a single velcro flap for the double compartment side). The new version holds a tad less. (I gave my new version to my MIL), and use the older one I have.

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a good UPK library structure for Oracle financials 11.5.10.2 (using UPK 11.1) please?

    If you are using the application server that comes with Oracle Applications - you probably need to use the JDeveloper version that comes with that one too. (The OAF forum will have more info on this).
    If you are using JDeveloper 10.1.3 then you can use a stand alone OC4J 10.1.3 to deploy your applications - and save yourself the hassle of messing up with your apps server.

  • Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone

    Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone. The one intalled is hopelessly inadequate and inefficient. 2 Main problems- The current iCal + Contacts programs do not link to each other. And there is no To Do List!
    Palm and MS Outlook had those features 6 years ago! Whats up with Apple?!!

    ical does have a to do list in it. either click the little pin under the calendar, or click show to do list in the view menu.
    i don't know much purpose behind needing to link ical and address book (not that i'm saying it isn't important at all - you obviously have some type of need for it). but it's got to be possible somehow, because you can set ical to make a calendar of birthdays from your address book contacts (in the main preference pane for the application).
    plus, i doubt there'd be another mac calendar application you'd be able to sync with your iphone, unless whoever developed it developed an iphone app to sync it with. probably wouldn't sync with your contacts/calendar apps that come with the iphone.

  • I need to run a clean scan report on my os x mac purchased in oct 2006. Can anyone help me with a software that is available to do this? Thanks Madhumann

    I need to run a clean scan report on my os x mac purchased in 2006.
    Can anyone help me identify a software that will do this?
    Thanks Madhumann

    clean scan report
    What do you mean by this?  What results are you looking for?  List some of the results you would see in the report.
    Are you saying you want to check the hd for problems?
    Verify a disk
    As an alternative, you can verify that the filesystem on the disk is correct. You will not be able to repair the file system.
    I suggest that you use disk utility to verify that your startup disk is OK. 
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility 
    Start up disk utility.  On the left pane view, you will see a list of all your disks.  
    Click on your startup disk.
    Click on the First Aid  Tab.
    Click on verify.  
    Hopefully your disk will verify.  If not, you have to boot from your installation DVD and run Disk Utility from there to attempt to repair your file-system.
