With SimpleOCR, you get what you pay for. The software is free, so it cannot hurt to try it if you only need a single use, but do not expect high accuracy. SimpleOCR makes many errors in its image-to-text conversion, so you will have to go through the output manually to correct all of the problems. Some users even say that the corrections take more time than typing out the entire document by hand.
If you have a document in which the text is extremely clear, then you might be able to benefit from SimpleOCR, and save some time and money. Otherwise, there are very few advantages to using this software. Any complex formatting tends to be processed improperly, and you might end up redoing the work that you sought to avoid. In conclusion: it cannot hurt to try SimpleOCR for free, but you should not expect perfect results from this program.
