Condense (http://www.condenseapp.com) is a $2.99 OCR app in the Mac App Store that is a nice alternative for ABBYY Screenshot Reader (Windows).

I've tested it with two real-live documents and found that the app is quite easy to use:

Using Condense to scan a high-contrast image

The result was good.

Using Condense to scan a low-contrast image with a pixel font

The result needed some editing.

Looks good. Looks like I'll have to buy it, even. My daughter may need it.


Cheers,

I'd like to get this, but can't see how to get it to download.

Clicking on "View in the App Store" does nothing and trying to search
for it in the app store from within iTunes returns nothing.

That kinda sux.

After much experimentation, it seems it will only open the App Store
link if you access the link you sent via Safari.
