<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I've seen a lot of recommendations for
ABBYY's Fine Reader, but I want to point out that if all you want
to do is convert PDFs to text, ABBYY's PDF Transformer uses the
exact same OCR engine, and is half the price:<br>

<div>It needs to be trained on the individual language, which
may take time. And there</div>
<div>are some tricks to using it that take some time to learn.
