FreeOCR has been discontinued. Similar apps include OSS Document Scanner, which is free and open source. Other options are MakeACopy, Tesseract, Adobe Acrobat DC and ABBYY FineReader PDF. Document Scanners like FreeOCR are a crowded field, with more than 50 alternatives for Windows, the web, iPhone, Mac and Android.
CamScanPDF is a free document scanner that runs as a web app, so there's no app store download. Point your phone camera at a page, and CamScanPDF finds the edges, straightens the page, removes shadows and recognises the text.
