I have both available on K1000, FineReader is fine as long as you want all your text de-columnized, that is a feature that can't be turned off, apparently, and it makes a complete hash of certain things. Both engines are fairly close in recognition, if you can adjust settings and work with them. This is much more possible in a real ocr program like Openbook or K1000.

Hi, Gene. They may not be licenced to use ABBY Fine Reader for both, and may need to pay to have both licences.

I wish they'd just use the ABBY Fine Reader engine for JAWS as well as
Open Book.

Hi, Chris. The fact that Vispero gives us a choice between omnipage and
the Microsoft OCR engine shows that at least at times, the Microsoft OCR
engine may give better results. If this were not the case, Vispero would
have no reason to include both OCR engines.

Jaws is using omnipage, likely a lot better than anything MS includes
for free.

that comes with JAWS?
