Tiff software with fine page adjustment

I am looking for some software that allows fine rotation of scanned
pages for OCR in a batch mode.

I have tried Abbyy finereader but it does not seem to allow precise
page rotation for skewed pages makes the OCR quite useless on too many
pages.

The only part requiring recognition is a serial number on a fixed part
of the documents.

Is there some software that allows precise adjustment of a number of
pages or some automatic deskewing of the pages at a sub £150 price?

If it can deskew and automatically zone in on the preferred area that
would be great.

Hm. Assuming you're using 'Doze, maybe "Scanfix"? They have a crippled
demo you can download and try, though IIRC the deskew only worked with
1-bit images. I wasn't impressed with its automatic deskew, but YMMV.
I don't remember how much the full version cost, but details may be
available on their website.

If the area requiring recognition is *always* in the same place, after
allowing for slop, it should be reasonably easy to crop the area you're
interested in out and feed it to an OCR engine. It might require
doing some programming though.
 
(A.) are the documents already scanned (i.e. multipage tiffs)? or
(B)are you looking for a solution for documents that are going to be
scanned?

if (B) the solution is using VRS

goto www.kofax.com and take a look at VRS4.0

VRS can deskew on the physical document (edge of paper) or content
deskew (OCR) depending on if your scanner hardware has black
backgrounds like the fujitsu fi-5120C (www.fcpa.com)

VRS is bundled standard with most fujitsu document image scanners.

hope this helps
