Tesseract

Many of the OCR services are based on the free, open-source Tesseract OCR, but don’t expose all of the options. If you’re handy with shell scripts or Python, you can probably get better performance by hand-tuning options for your particular images. For example, if I recall there are page segmentation options to tell Tesseract to expect multi-column text. That alone might get you better performance than the automatic mode. <a href="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/">https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/</a>.
