"Avoid at all costs."
Version: Screen OCR 7.9
Pros
None to speak of.
Cons
I wanted to capture text from my forum without getting all the code that occurs when I copy it. This seemed to fit the requirement. I figured version 9.1 might have fixed some of the problems already mentioned. Big mistake.
Wouldn't run.
Tried to contact customer service - no reply.
Now it won't uninstall!Summary
So annoying, words fail me.

"Read text and formatting flawlessly from screen"
Version: Screen OCR 7.9
Pros
Simple selection tool does not require and file to be created and opened. Recognises layout columns and converts to plain text. Recognises slashes in dates.
Cons
Appends pointless help tips to all your pasted text while the software is running. (I assume these disappear when registered)
Summary
March 7th 2011. I'm using this to read text from some older business software and SAP logistics pages (both of which have sections of text that cannot be copied from, only viewed on screen) I need to transfer the info into a messaging system that only accepts plain text. The software has to deal with grey backgounds, different coloured text and dates/numbers in several formats.
Having tested other OCR programs, all had real problems with the formatting and most lost the columns, with screen OCR I find the text layout almost identical to the screen image and totally legible and it seems to ignore the background.
Highly recommended. -
"Doesn't work - Doesn't Uninstall"
Version: Screen OCR 7.9
Pros
21day trial period is 20 days longer than you need to realize this product doesn't work
Cons
Didn't work on even things I could just copy and paste like a MS Word document, couldn't uninstall
Summary
I'll be glad when Microsoft bundles some sort of free OCR tool with an OS and I won't have to deal with software like this.
