You get what you pay for

I have used quite a few OCR programs in the past, but not recently. I had a long list of names and email addresses that came to me as a pdf graphic, which was quite clear and easy to read. I tried Leadtools OCR and was very disappointed. It misread about 2-4% of the characters (turning “m” into “rn”, etc.), requiring very intense editing. I would not use this program again.
