Hello:
I have several boxes of papers (with text, math and figures) from pre-pdf era. Would like to scan and then use OCR software to convert to searchable pdf files.
When I tried with 300 dpi scan and ABBY software, it become a mess.
Questions.
1. Should I use higher dpi?
2. Are there any settings, setup files etc for ABBY (or other OCR software) that will recognize text and leave math and figures as they are? This has to be done automatically ... there is way too much stuff to do manually.
3. I am open to suggestions for combinations that work: scanner + OCR software.
Appreciate input from people with experience.
Best
Nag
