It costs 10 bucks. I tested this on old texts, on typewriter scans. It seemed to be much better than others at first. But when I compared the results in a text comparison program, the difference was hardly visible. Except at particular text magnification levels, where this ABBYY OCR worked much better. But if you calibrate the text size, there is no big difference from pot.exe (Windows OCR), DPScreenOCR and others.

You have to give private details to even be able to download it via their website. Again it asks you to provide this u to "register" to use the program, even if it's clearly the trail version you downloaded. Just not worth it, unless it's a professional requirement but then I bet there's better options still available. Trail software shouldn't be this time wasting.
Features: offline use, very fast, custom destination format, adjustable screen selection drag to select. (compare to Capture2Text does this too but you have to first place your mouse in the exact place before you start) Additionally you can drag you selected area around (which I don't take advantage of).
Room for improvement: needs ability to add shortcuts, and adding the ability to skipping some of the steps that are not needed.
