   Thanks for posting this, Allan. I've been looking for a more accurate   
   OCR application ever since I (*gag* *choke*) moved to W10 Pro. I did a   
   clean install and reinstalled all my software but had difficulty with   
   several applications. ABBYY Finereader 4.0 would install, but wouldn't   
   activate and work.   
      
   Since then, I've been using Google's "Keep" web service. It's very   
   accurate, but of course I can't use it on anything personal because   
   ...well ----Google.   
      
   Hope this one doesn't call home.   
      
   And, well... ---Microsoft, indirectly.
