Abbyy 5.0.

yeah, i could tell it was an old one. (he/be confusion was the sign.) i think most people say abby v7 is where recognition hit a plateau. (versions later than that have added features, yet no better o.c.r., while all of the versions earlier than v7 are decidedly inferior.) if you can find a used copy of v7, it would help you immensely... -bowerbird
