Re: COMP: ?software

Hate to dump cold water on your parade, but well, you'll find out... The very best scanner in combination with the best OCR software, is, to be gernerous, only able to pick up about 99% of the text (closer to 98% for most). Unfortunately, you have to proof read 100% of it to find what it didn't get...

Is any inexpensive text recognition software available yet?
I bought a scanner three years ago, never hooked it up. Maybe I will
start scanning R&Is as they come out & give it to people as rtf
files....

Good idea. Once the scanned file becomes a text format, it is
certainly feasible to import it into MS Access, where it can be sorted,
formated, and printed to the heart's content.
