"Doesn't seem to do anything"
Version: SimpleOCR 3.1
Pros
Doesn't seem to destroy anything
Cons
Doesn't seem to do anything
Summary
I can't find a single file that this works on.
It won't attempt to interpret the clipboard.
Its keyboard shortcut weakness suggests that it was by something less than best quality programmers.
I'd love to go 2 stars but it seems utterly useless. -

"SimpleOCR recognized most characters lost formatting."
Version: SimpleOCR 3.1
Pros
Recognized characters with a great deal of help.
Cons
After running Simple OCR the characters lost all formatting and were just words in one column down the page. It was a waste of time for me - I could have retyped the document faster.
Summary
Not worth installing - too much work to not get a usable document.
-
"This is a very poor product."
Version: SimpleOCR 3.1
Pros
There are no pros.
Cons
Doesn't work with many very simple, clear documents.
Lots of bugs. Crashes frequently.Summary
Don't waste your time. This product is full of bugs, performs poorly, and crashes often. Why can/t I give this product zero stars, or even negative stars!?
-
"Don't waste your time with this program."
Version: SimpleOCR 3.1
Pros
There were none.
Cons
Too many errors in translations. Doesn't recognize numbers and some punctuation.
Summary
This program can't even translate pages of Times New Roman text. You could waste time making 23486238723 corrections per page, or you could just re-type the entire document, yourself, in the same amount of time.

"cumbersome but price is right"
Version: SimpleOCR 3.1

Summary
if your cheap like me get it, if you want ease of use go somewhere else

"text conversion not much helpful"
Version: SimpleOCR 3.1
Pros
converted my digital handwritings onto text very well . but not with the original or small size. it required some 300% zooming of my jpeg and tiff graphic files . i have not tried other softwares for their similar capabities yet..
Cons
did not yet try the scanned text to text conversion feature fully. but tested its function for handwriting recognition and it performed horribly poor.
Summary
seems i may have to buy the handwriting to text feature after 14 days. that is my sole purpose of ocr need which i intend to use .i like recommendations from others about any other handwriting recogntion softwares too.
-
"Did not correctly read most of the scanned characters."
Version: SimpleOCR 3.1
Pros
none, but it was free
Cons
The corrections required to finish the conversion would be more work than just typing the whole document.
Summary
Don't waste your time on this one.
