Does anyone know of a simple, good OCR software that allows you to highlight a section of a pdf and just get the text right away?

I use Abbyy FineReader 12, which comes with a screenshot reader app.

You can select any text in any program, click "capture", and send the OCRd result to the clipboard or another file.

I use OmniPage, very similar to ABBYY. In a recent computer magazine test of OCR software, these two came out very well.
