    Here is a little review on Migraph OCR.

    I just want you to know that it is very powerful and it works great 
    with the TT in fast RAM. It comes with support for English, French, 
    German and Dutch languages.

    There is no worry what scanner it can support because it can 
    translate any IMG or TIFF text file into an ASCII file or you can use 
    the Migraph hand scanner directly! You can change the order of 
    columns and merge them into one file as long you want it to be 
    because Migraph OCR support hard drive caching just like Word 
    Perfect. You can save graphics and ASCII text files on the same page.

    It support proportional and monospaced text with different kerning as 
    long the letters do not touch each other. This Migraph OCR uses a 
    Omnifont engine that uses a mathematical system that has a greater 
    chance to recognizing letters even though it may not have been 
    trained on them. This save a lot of hard disk space over systems that 
    uses raster images of the letters.
    
    Migraph OCR has already been pretrained on; Artisan, Bookman, 
    Brougham, Caroll Pica, Courier, Courier Italic, Delegate, Elite 
    Modern, Helvetica, Herald Elite, Letter Gothic, Lori, Lubalin, OCRB, 
    Pica, Prestige Elite, Prestige Italic, Prestige Pica, Times, Titan 
    and Title. It will also work on NLQ dot matrix printouts. The Migraph 
    OCR uses an interactive learning system which makes it easy to add a 
    new font! It is one of the most stable programs I have had the 
    pleasure to use and that is base on the version 1.01. Migraph is one 
    of the fastest companies to fix some of the bugs in the previous 
    versions. The manual is 58 pages long.
