Scanner and Word Processing Question

Website · Postby **Alice** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 7:34 pm

Is there a way to convert scanned documents into a wordprocessing format?

It would be a great help to me if there was.

(I'd elaborate but this is the second time I tried to make this thread, and I'm tired of typing it.) xD;

It's called OCR and most modern scanners should be able to convert text to a wordprocessor format if it has this option.

Probably on whatever software CDs came with the scanner.

Thanks, guys! I'll be sure to find out.

It will really help me if it can.

Check this out, if you can't find any software:

You can scan in something as a TIFF and there's a free website provided by the NLM for doing the OCR for you.
