It is important to note the FreeOCR includes open source software originally developed by HP, though the actual product Tesseract OCR PDF was released by Google. It comes with full installation and uninstallation support and creating multi-page PDF, TIFF documents or faxes is simple it can also great some other formats of images. Softi Free OCR is a scanning program which includes the Tesseract freeware OCR engine. Users running this program should have a scanner in order to use this software. It really is a nifty tool.FreeOCR is a freeware OCR application which can create somewhat accurate PDF files by processing a scan. Just like the PDF converter installation I waded through last week, once I got through all the Conduit crap during install, the OCR worked fine.

Take your time, read everything, and you’ll be fine. You do not give permission to install anything except the OCR, nothing else. Be sure to read each and every page that comes up, especially at the top. These days you have to read each page and even actively look for check boxes and options choices or you’ll get in trouble.Īnyway, like Tuna says, go slow, and look for the ‘greyed out decline button’. I am sure most of us are lax about installations and take for granted the simplicity of the click-through process. It was a very good lesson learned about paying attention to the permissions pages on the installer. But after that frustrating process, and a pot of coffee, I started the install again but paid close attention to what I was doing. When I realized what I was doing (those EULA pages sure do look real) I had to complete the install, then go back and uninstall everything and then scan for malware, remove unwanted toolbars and search engines, and jump through all kinds of hoops to clean my system. Like most people, I just trust the installer and click through. I got halfway through installation before I realized what was going on. However, I ran into the exact same grouping last week with a PDF converter installation (might be from the same people).

Yes, the installer does contain multiple ‘tricky EULA-like’ panels to get through, all based on Conduit.
