Windows snipping tool lets you markup images with highlighter/pen tools
Noted!
Xournalpp is good for editing and marking up pdfs, and you can use openscan on your phone to scan it in. (It's on fdroid)
Hopefully, you don't have to pay for it or pay too much.
I'm burnt out on Adobe Scan and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Can you freely high-light with a pen (lines) or with color?
Sorry, not sure how to describe my question.
Yes you can do freehand highlighting or select text to highlight. It's free and open source software, and is also free to download. (To answer your other question)
Damn, I should do open-source software more often!
Is there any OCR open-source software out there?
Yes you should! Most of the time there is open source software available for what you need, and most often it is better than any proprietary version. I'm certain there is some ocr software available, and something on my system has it because I keep updating "tesseract" which is an open source OCR package.
Tesseract, eh? I'll look into it!
Ugh, waste of money.
I want to scan books, but not with a scanner app, damn it!
Edit: Venting at this point.
Can you refund it?
I can probably do so, yes. I will do that right now.
