It's a very good OCR application. Not as good and practical to use as ABBYY Screenshot Reader, but FreeOCR is FREE.

Only for use with a scanner. If you want to open images with OCR, you might try Photo Scan icon Photo Scan

I like its features that you can directly scan from a wireless printer, saves the same having to scan it and then add then import the file to the OCR program, but I just tried to read a simple table and the results were very weird. (Used v5.4).

Is FreeOCR compatible with Windows 7 64bit? Does it only work in bit32 environment? To work it 64bit, what to do?

The Tesseract free OCR engine is an open source product released by Google. It was developed at Hewlett Packard Laboratories between 1985 and 1995. In 1995 it was one of the top 3 performers at the OCR accuracy contest organized by University of Nevada.
