Softi FreeOCR is an image-to-text program using Optical Character Recognition software Tesseract. It supports multi-page TIFF images and import of documents via TWAIN scanners. Scanned text can be saved as ASCII text files.
Note that images must have high detail (around 300 dpi) to recognize text reliably.
Note: The application has been discontinued and website taken offline, so I have made it available for direct download.

It seams as if the application website has abandoned this software as I find no mention.
Has anyone tried version 2.6 from an installer?
Its (2.6) available at http://www.brothersoft.com/freeocr-59672.html

Though not as good as commercial softwares, some online OCR services are not bad, for example, site free ocr.

didn't work. All it did was output some gibberish.

amcclendon: if you give it even somewhat small text, it will choke. I usually have to give it stuff scanned at 200 DPI (most pages taking up about 2 megs).
V1.5

Works great! I've used other OCR's which couldn't interpret some of the more fanciful text fonts. I was very pleased with the results of using this great program! Be sure to scan text ay 200 X 200 DPI.
