06 Fred runs Abbyy through the wringer
Well, Lynn, since you posted this earlier in the week, I've installed it and been putting it through the paces. It's fairly good, and sure helps get the data in there faster -- but just like any hand-held OCR app, it does have its problems. I'm running about 1 to 4 successful scans. Today's cards have gotten such bling-bling, it's impossible sometimes to separate graphics from content. Like car dealers -- they got complicated photo backgrounds, and artsy logos, etc. Count on them to fail. But for the price (FREE) I think anyone who deals with business cards should try it. :-) Let me know how you like it!
