I just wanted to say thank you!
Your product saved me so much time! As a college student, I have to read a ton of PDFs and when teachers don't make them searchable and they are just images, highlighting and annotating is painstakingly miserable. It was so frustrating when all I saw in front of me were typed words but I couldn't highlight a single thing. Thanks again!

Monetize it!
You have done a great job. I would have no problem paying for this application, and would be more compelled to do so if the program had a limited number of conversions in "Shareware" mode before becoming inoperable until a serial number was entered. Get it on the App store and quit that second job!

Keep moving forward! Love the program, love the price!
I think you have done a great job here. Interestingly, the program doesn't work for me when I drop a file onto the grey "drop image here" window. However, it works just fine when I drop a file onto the application icon.

Add ability to recognise tables
Lots of documents contain tables and currently the recognition is quirky, so it leaves you having to recreate the table. In a large document, this is very time consuming as I have just found out. Main reason why I won't purchase the product. Apart from that keep up the good work
2 votesYou’re right – tables are our nemesis! I hope to be able to put this right with a new version of the engine.

The Mac App Store
I love VelOCRaptor. I think it needs to be better known. Please add it to the Mac App Store!!! It would catapult sales. Thanks.

Spellcheck using specialist dictionaries
Word recognition of technical documents could be improved by pointing VelOCRaptor to specialist dictionaries that the user might have.

Support OCR of images on the pasteboard
using an image on the pasteboard, or dragged in, would be good. And if you could put the text back onto the pasteboard too, that would be awesome.

Use jbig2 compression
I tried out Velocraptor on a ~13MB ~300 page google book PDF. The resulting PDF is 180MB. I looked for ways to compress it back down, and while I didn't find a good/cheap solution, I think the deal is that Google seems to be using jbig2 compression, and you seem to be using deflate.

Allow for a different destination directory
One of several preferences I'd like to see...

Improve copied text layout
Maybe it's me but 'Select all' just doesn't. Seems to have about the same functionality as copying text in Adobe Reader. If my data is in a table I want it kept that way. Neither PDF nor Raw text is that useful.

keep the commandline and saving as plain text
please, to simply create workflows it would be great to stick with the unix command-line. Maybe more switches?
-o <output> # -o - or ommited switch -> then goes to stdout
-f pdf,txt,rtf # format the written output as pdf, as txt, as rtf
-q # autoscale the input
-r # replace original
-n "fmt" # name the destination according to fmt starting with dirname of the argument (./../../destdir/myscans/yyyy-mm-dd)
split tokens to variables: -w 1,5 # take first 5 words for the name
split tokens to variables: -l 3 # take 3 lines for the name
-p # create path…4 votes -

Too be frank, I’d like to get English working better first, but I’ll look at this then.

Add as a service in Snow Leopard
From the services menu it would be useful from say preview to be able to send to VelOCRaptor
12 votesI’ve still to get my head around services, but thank you, that would be a nice integration

Reassurance
Reassure the frightened newcomer that a test download can be easily removed. The splendid "how it works" videos could easily have this. I have a really irritating banner from a thing called Network SpyAlert that wont be gone. This makes me hesitate to download your product, and many others

Add Growl notifications
Great software! Recognition is not perfect but your product shows amazing promise. If you could add support for Growl, simply to notify the user when the file is finished being processed that would be very helpful.
8 votesThanks for the suggestion, I’ll get on to it

Add a 'Save All' menu item
It's a complete pain to click save on all those windows if I've dragged many files onto VelOCRaptor

Accept drags of pages from Preview
Individual pages dropped from Preview seem to be .pictClipping - we could read those too

Add the ability to drag and drop image data i.e. from an image in a browser
It would be great if I could drag straight from my browser into velocraptor. There must be some sort of drag and drop data flavour that could be used for this.
Keep up the good work.
2 votesI guess if we accept drags of data rather than files, we are going to have to have a default save location. Maybe this is the first legitimate preference?

Keep up the good work!
This is a great start. If you can get the output PDF size from bloating when OCR'd, I will probably buy a full license.
2 votesIf you buy a full licence, we may be able to afford to make it work for you ;-)
