Correct, text cloner is a toy for painstakingly deciphering unimportant
mail not for reading books. The scan of several pages I tried were
utterly unreadable.

I don't know of anybody who has tried text cloner recently. I do recall
Guido saying in the past that he tried it and his results were very poor.
As others have suggested, you might try Abbyy Fine Reader. Omnipage 14 is
also said to work with screen readers. And I think it might be a tad less
expensive than the Abbyy product, but also has a highly rated ocr engine.
