PDF2TXT, is free, and possibly slightly less perfect than some of the
expensive ones, but it works:
http://www.empowermentzone.com/p2tsetup.exe
Creates a folder called pdf2txt in your C: drive, with PDF and TXT
subfolders, and if you put an image based PDF file in PDF folder, and then
hit enter on pdf2txt.exe in main folder, and make sure image format is
checked, before moving over to convert button, it will start running OCR on
each page of the file - not fastest, but works most of the time, depending
on quality of scanned pictures etc, and when finally done, it will put the
rendered text file version in the txt subfolder.
Stay well

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
The OCR features in both JFW and NVDA aren't meant for large document
conversion but for reading image controls that are labeled in some way the
screen reader can't pick up. I am in fact in need of a good solution for
OCR-in a bunch of image pdf files myself. If anyone has a good solution
for
this problem, please share. Note that my budget doesn't extend to Open
Book
or K1000.
