2/2 re #OCR

All three were set to #rotate and #deskew. None rotated the page that was sideways, but they all #deskewed pages that needed it. Kofax was the speediest of the bunch, then #OCRmyPDF not far behind and #Foxit was by far the slowest.

File size Foxit produced the smallest file size, #Kofax created files double the original. OCRmyPDF struggled here, ballooning the original size by at least 6 times larger.

I got to do a fun test at work with #OCR. #Foxit Phantom with AbbyFineReader from 2013, #Kofax Power PDF from 2020 and #OCRmyPDF via #WSL with #Tesseract as the OCR engine.

The best results in OCR were from OCRmyPDF great results. Second was Kofax lagging was the over 10-year-old Foxit. OCRmyPDF did perform great and just picked up a few more characters, especially fuzzy scanned text, plus it got some handwritten text.
