No way to correct OCR errors in Acrobat pro DC

There is a major problem with OCR in Acrobat Pro CD. I have recognized (OCR) text in many documents. They still contain a lot of recognition errors in the hidden text used for search. When I try to use the function/tool "Correct Recognized text" (translated from Norwegian), I get a message saying that there are no suspected errors. It is not possible to correct the remaining errors. This is just stupid, there is no 100% correct OCR program, there are lots of errors in the recognized text. There must be a way to fix the remaining errors, but your technical support tells me that it is not possible. Until this is fixed, I can not use the product.

    Hi,

    There is also a functionality of Review Recognize Text.
    You can enable it via
    Tools -> Enhance Scans --> Recognize Text -->Correct Recognize Text --> Check Review Recognize Text.

    Can you please try this and let us know if this solves your problem.

    Regards,
    Gaurav Maheshwari
