>"Has anyone found any other OCR software that really improves the error rate with serif fonts?"< There doesn't seem to be much difference between the consumer OCR products on clean input. I have Xerox Textbridge Pro, Omnipage Pro, and Ligature Character Eyes. OmniPage has the best interface so I have used that the most. They all work OK if the input is pristine. Where they all stumble badly is on newspaper articles. The new Visioneer ProOCR100 program I saw is significantly better at newspaper recognition than any of the others I have tried. That combined with a very good maintaining of format in the output, extreme ease of use, and a price less than half that of the others makes for a good addition to the Visioneer line. And there wasn't much R&D spent on it. It is kind of like the flatbeds; just a repackaged pre-existing product. Jimmy Liberato
