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).
