Total piece of junk

Got the free version try to scan one document. It scanned like three words from the top heading of the document. Total piece of garbage. I'm gonna delete it from my system. Don't waste your time.

Review of OCR

It’s almost impossible to apply a OCR software to any thing I have trying to scan something or trying to type something of my own I was hoping to have text to speech and speech to text and I’ve got neither of those things I need health but there’s no way to get assistance at least I haven’t figured it out that’s my review
