That's far better than the OCR stuff that came with my scanner some years ago. Cleaning up all the errors was almost as bad as typing it all over.

What I said is true. A good scan of well printed material is nearly perfect, and if you have the patience to respond to the automatic proofreading, it's better than 99.9 percent accurate. It even got the superscript on 18th, and the underlined words. If you want, it will preserve embellishments like bold, italic and font face and font size. Not perfectly, but pretty well, depending on the quality of the original.

My program is about four years old. They've improved since then. But if the original text is unclear or poorly typed, it's a mess.
