    Your link “Download the best OCR software – FreeOCR Powered by Tesseract OCR engine.” seems to have been hijacked–it no longer goes to FreeOCR

    I have tried many different types of OCR software and in my opinion, CVISION Technologies offers one of the best product out there. Not only is it highly accurate, but it is also really fast. It certainly has the best combination of both. You can try their product for free through their trial version.

    I use directly GT Text, which has the latest Tesseract.
    Is makes a nice windows interface for scan, ocr on files and on the screen.
    And is also free.
    I recommend it.

    I have been a writer for years and years, and I have over 2000 pages of handwritten writings that I need to scan and convert to OCR, if that is possible, because I will never have time to type them into files. They are all hand printed and I really need to save them to Microsoft files..
