I am new for OCR. Could I know what programme/apps you use for OCR? I use Adobe Acrobat with Chinese language packs support. Is this Adobe Acrobat used by this way ( OCR )? Are they any programme/apps better than Adobe Acrobat? Mind to share your experiences?

For software enquiry, go here :- https://forum.lowyat.net/SoftwareUsually I use the free OCR software (OmniPage) that came with my scanner. OmniPage is the first OCR software run on pc, and I believe it still quite popular. Free OCR :- https://www.google.com.my/#q=free+ocr+software

If you are looking for mobile app OCR, I've just uploaded an Android app in google play store.. Free and don't need to buy scanner, just snap a photo and extract the text https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...thesimplest.ocr
