PDF Text OCR Xtractor 2.6.6 was available as a giveaway on December 31, 2021!
PDF Text OCR Xtractor is perfect to extract text from PDFs and all kinds of popular image formats, such as PNG, JPG, BMP, and TIFF.
PDF Text OCR Xtractor uses Tesseract OCR technology. Tesseract is perhaps the most powerful and advanced OCR software out there and here is why: First of all, a bit of history. It was developed by HP in 1994, but soon the company released it under Apache License for open-source development. In 2006, Google took over the project and sponsored developers to work on Tesseract. Fast forward now and Tesseract has become the most powerful OCR engine that uses Deep Learning to extract texts from images (BMP, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, etc.) and PDF files.
PDF Text OCR Xtractor supports 20+ different languages and lets you set custom processing parameters to source files/images, such as smoothening and DPI adjustment, increasing contrast, and other useful tricks, before analyzing them.
PDF Text OCR Xtractor has high accuracy and will get any image or PDF you have into editable searchable text. The conversion from image to text is quick.
Main Features:
1. Use of the best OCR technology available.
2. Support for 20+ different languages.
3. Useful image transformations to enhance accuracy on difficult documents.
Extra Features:
1. Cheapest Tesseract engine graphical user interface you can possibly find!
2. Support for PDF and all common image formats like PNG, JPG, BMP.

Installed easily.
I tested it on a pretty poor photo of text with skewed lettering - it did an amazingly good job - 100% accurate, very unexpected. It was fairly slow to convert but I can see that Ai is really working. A conventional ocr would have made a hash of my original. Thanks pcwinsoft and gotd.
This may be the ocr equivalent of google voice recognition.

This software works as is advertised, however, the text extracted from pictures is all messed up and all over the page. I have to spend hours to put the words in the right place and therefore defeats the purpose of the conversion, like the punctuation marks in the picture, commas, dots, question marks and so on are not in the right place especially the spaces between the words are all messed up. I'll keep it for OCR on a regular text, it does a fabulous job.

It loads over (and replaces) any old installations and is pre registered.

By no means. It's far behind many cloud-based OCR services.

Alok, I also note that this one does not appear in the list of 3rd party GUI's at all... why wouldn't they submit themselves to that list?

Alok, thanks for posting this, but unfortunately it didn't list anything. I hope I can find these on my own. I really need something that works to use for my volunteer work.
