SuperGeek Free Document OCR is an easy-to-use and professional image OCR (optical character recognition) tool. It can convert image files like scanned documents in JPG, JPEG, TIF, TIFF, BMP, GIF, PNG, PSD, EMF, WMF, DCX, PCX, JP2, etc. into editable TXT and Word. Image files can be recognized with high accuracy, saving you time of retyping or re-creating information unnecessarily. With the free OCR software you can extract text from images and locate information using specific search terms or phrases.

Old thread update: This program is still under development with a release last month: http://www.ocrfree.net/download.php version 8.8.1

Unfortunately, Uniextract didn't work and the program is now bundleware, offering to install Yahoo search during it's install.

Unfortunately, Uniextract didn't work and the program is now bundleware, offering to install Yahoo search during it's install.

The FreeOCR site write that program has been released on January 08, 2021.

Try this:
1. download from Softpedia the GUI InnoEx https://www.softpedia.com/get/Programmi ... noEx.shtml for 'InnoUnp.exe' (release 0.50 of 18/12/2020 -> https://sourceforge.net/projects/innoun ... r/download)
2. open the installer 'SuperGeekFreeDocumentOCR.exe' with InnoEx (already updated)
3. select only files contained in folder {app}
4. in menu bar press 'Extract'' -> Selected files -> Proceed
5. rename the folder {app} as 'FreeOCR' or with a name you like.
6. run 'SuperGeekFreeDocumentOCR.exe' (see below list of files)

In new folder {app} You obtain these files:

22/02/2012  15:54         7.749.632 ievision.dll
10/09/2020  14:31           859.648 SuperGeek Free Document OCR Update.exe

19/08/2019  16:43         4.427.776 SuperGeekFreeDocumentOCR.exe
13/12/2016  15:37                87 version.dat

Notes
• the installer 'SuperGeekFreeDocumentOCR.exe' is created with Inno Setup Compiler and using InnoEx probably you can avoid Yahoo search.
• not tested if portable: probably not because there is the file 'SuperGeek Free Document OCR Update.exe'
• the executable has the same name as installer

I've been satisfied mostly with the PDF-XChange OCR process but I can definitely say it's hit and miss depending on the font. Did you try testing out the FreeOCR process? Does it work well?

FYI, I was able to (Uni)extract the installer package alright using (Bioruebe's) UniversalExtractor2 (v2.0.0 RC3).

What I found puzzling was the discrepancy from the version mentioned in the 'version.dat' file (see full content below) and the one 'install_script.iss' is meant to display: "AppVerName=SuperGeek Free Document OCR 8.8.2.4".

The executable itself has no version info:
