if I want offline OCR that works just on my PC without calling out to the web, what's a good application? Is there one you use yourself? (Linux or Windows/WINE)

Free or it doesn't matter? I've found FineReader does the best job, at least of the ones I tried.

@modulux @David Gerard For making missing text part for scanned PDF files and OCR-ing other images I like to use a python based command line app called ocrmypdf which uses #tesseract as a dependency. It runs on linux and windows.
