    You can add multiple images and process them into one text.
    So, ideal for converting a complete book!
    Very rare in free OCR software under Windows.

    And you can edit the text in this program too, if you like, or copy the text into your favourite texteditor.
    It took me a while to find this gem of a program.

    A very simple front-end for multilingual text recognition. Allows selecting sections of pages to be translated and multipage translation - these were the features I needed and used just after installing.

    I did tests with English and it didn't work well. In Brazilian Portuguese where we use accents it got even worse.
