Abbyy FineReader Professional 9.0 is a newcomer in the world of optical character recognition (OCR) but has an edge over its long-established competitor OmniPage Professional. PC Magazine just reviewed this reader and maintained that the OmniReader is still the leader when it comes to OCR.

The good: Accurate output. Convenient, intuitive proofreading. Clearest interface of any comparable product.

The bad: Not as accurate as OmniPage in reproducing complex page layouts.

The bottom line: Superb interface combined with high accuracy makes this an ideal OCR package, though it’s outclassed in some corporate features by OmniPage.

Price: Starting at $399.99.
