I had to translate an instruction manual in German, and G.Docs has allowed me to upload the PDF, translate to text, then translation into English! Very sweet, and almost instantaneous.Very good alternative that not many people are aware of.”http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/whats-the-best-free-ocr-software-for-mac.683060/

About OCR
Free Ocr For Mac
“OCR” stands for “Optical Character Recognition’’. This is the process whereby an image of a paper document is captured and the text is then extracted from the resulting image.
Readiris 17 is an OCR software package that automatically converts text from paper documents, images or PDF files into fully editable files without having to perform all the tedious retyping work!
The optical character recognition (OCR) technology used in Readiris 17 allows very accurate document recognition whilst preserving the original page layout.
