Default OCR for formulae


I have scanned images of my Heat And Mass Transfer book.
There are lots of formulae in it.
I want to convert it into editable text.
How do I do that?
I am using Abby OCR. I get invalid characters after converting.
Are there any installable dictionaries that if used in the software will give me the needed conversions?

OCR is tricky business !
never 100% reliable

try a different OCR soft:
Omniformat: http://www.omniformat.com/download.html
(freeware)
you need to download Omniformat, pdf995 and OCR module, all three

PS: what book? incropera-dewitt?
