I've been using Nuance OmniPage Professional 18 for several years now. Very easy to use once you understand the basics of manipulating text and images within the program.

It's the only OCR application I've ever used (since OmniPage Pro Eight), so I can't honestly say whether it's more accurate than its competitors. Each iteration of the product has claimed improved accuracy over the previous version, and I have no reason to doubt those claims. I would install OmniPage Pro 18 and another competing software to judge for yourself.

There are lots of OCR software and services available nowadays... but no one alone do all jobs 100%.

In Old days I use Scansoft OmniPage (Now it is Nauance OmniPage after accruing it by Naunce and they more target on Voice recognition instead of OCR) and now we use AbbyyFine Reader.

Here is the list of some good OCRs.

  • ABBYY FineReader (Preferred Corporate version)
  • OmniPage
  • FreeOCR
  • ReadIRIS (specially for Arabic type language OCR)
  • SimpleOCR
  • TypeReader

For simple OCR without formatting use SimpleOCR and Tesseract-OCR (An OCR Engine that was developed at HP Labs between 1985 and 1995... and now at Google).

Here are some links for OCR Business/Job/Tips:

What is the most accurate OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software?

OCR Accuracy Measurement MUST READ..!!!

Improving OCR Accuracy in Your Scanned Files with DocuFi

Analysing and Improving OCR Accuracy in Large Scale Historic Newspaper Digitisation Programs

Comparison of optical character recognition software


Include:
OCR engines, that do the actual character identification
Layout analysis software, that divide scanned documents into zones suitable for OCR
Graphical interfaces to one or more OCR engines
Software development kits that are used to add OCR capabilities to other software (e.g. forms processing applications, document imaging management systems, e-discovery systems, records management solutions)

Best Practices for Optical Character Recognition

Some more links to read:

In short, For accurate result you should follow some pattern like:

Font size: 8 and above.

Resolution: 300dpi and above. Use high resolution if font size is smaller than 8

Color: for more accuracy use gray and color, Use high resolution if use Back & white

Dictionary: language and User dictionary must be enable.

As results differ, you must try both Nuance OmniPage and ABBYY FineReader.

There is no Urdu OCR publicly available at the moment.. even some companies already made it but they sell it with there specific hardware and software..

For arabic and farsi type language Readiris is best OCR...... and for urdu language check this.....

I‘ve tested portable versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC v15, Foxit Phantom PDF v7.1.3, Nitro PDF, PDF-XChange, Nuance OmniPage v18, ABBYY FineReader v12 for OCR capabilities to make a searchable English language .pdf file from non searchable .pdf file and ABBYY FineReader v12 was the most accurate and very easy to work with.

Somebody said that Foxit Phantom PDF was using ABBYY OCR engine, however ABBYY FineReader v12 was more accurate, placed the searchable text behind the original .pdf file in the right places and recognized more text than Foxit PhantomPDF.

ABBYY FineReader Corporate v12.0.101.388:
