Absolute disappointment. I first tried free programmes like FreeOCR for PC and Textfee for my Android phone, they all worked fine. For my work, I wanted to invest in professional software like this and 114 francs is totally ok for the job. At least that's what I thought. So I paid and got nothing, no CD, nothing. Days later I got an email with a download link, also ok, but stupid if you don't have internet at work (limited access). So I took my PC home and installed it and activated it online. Annoying but ok, modern slavery. The customer is no longer king. Programme runs very very slowly compared to the free programmes above, and has crashed and frozen three times within 10 minutes. Never happens on my SuperPC, TOP programming (irony). I photographed a photo of a text from a PC magazine and had it recognised with the free programme Text Recognition. No errors to be seen, without delay and without many settings, 3 clicks. Readiris recognises the photo, complains that the quality is poor and so on, the same photo. Tried different settings for 30 minutes, result was never better than 20%, so 80% pure nonsense and errors. So absolutely not usable. Even with the templates provided by Readiris, the free programmes did better. So why did I pay 114 francs? There were no reviews beforehand, so I didn't know any better. And that's the only reason I'm writing one now, so that others don't also waste 114 francs on an imposition.
