My company recieves a monthly commission report that we want to convert into an Excel document.
I am looking for a good application to use on the scanned reports to accurately grab the text so that it can be pasted into Excel.
I have tried OmniPage and ABBYY OCR software and so far ABBYY comes closest but still isn't very accurate. Sometimes numbers with decimals have spaces that shouldn't be there.
Is there anything out there that might do a better job?

If you have the time, Omni can be 'taught' on standard fonts, but it requries a lot of work, going through the document each time to make corrections and train the system. Getting it in an electronic version would be far easier!
Content Extractor can parse the data out of the report file and Data Junction allows you to manipulate/convert the data into whatever format you desire. It can actually build the Excel spreadsheet during the conversion so you don't have to go through the import process in Excel.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
