Other options to convert PDF scanned text document?

I often receive PDF files where the document has been scanned as an image. I'm wasting time having to retype these. I found a way online to Google to do a conversion, but it is slow (the link below if you're curious).  What are other options to convert this type of PDF to actual text?

It is in the PDF, not somewhere else. You can then save it as a text file (or DOC) and get the text. Apparently, you use the searchable image, but could also use ClearScan which replaces the image of the text with the text where he thinks that it is successful. The text is on a different layer in the PDF file.
