Last week we asked you to share your favorite text recognition tool—more formally known as optical character recognition (OCR)—then we compared them all. Now we're back to highlight the most popular text recognition tool.
Leading the pack with 31% of the vote was ABBYY FineReader, a powerful OCR tool with features to spare. Following ABBYY FineReader was Evernote and OneNote (28%), grouped together because their OCR functionality is strongly secondary to their primary purpose as a note-taking tools.
Rounding out the Hive Five was Adobe Acrobat (25%), OmniPage (9%), and Readiris (4%).
