ABBYY and professionalism

Their sales representative just calls me. I’m impressed by their promptness and aggressiveness.

On the other hand, its competitors response are not up-to-par. I request information from other companies via voice and email. Their sales rep have yet to call me. Frankly, it feels like they don’t care.

OCR Software

I’m researching batch document processing, something with OCR capability to export data to database.  In my two hour search, I found some open source stuff.  But nothing of valueable.

So far, I found three candidates, and they are all Windows products.

  1. Abbyy - this seems to be the most comprehensive.  It has many products, and a version for Linux too.
  2. OmniPage
  3. FormStorm

Each package has shrink wrap version and SDK for development. Need to investigate further for difference.
