HP OCR? Would it be Greek to Me?

[W. eWatson]

I just recently rediscovered the fact that my HP Photosmart printer
continued with the availability of OCR on previous versions of their
printers. I tried it out with a few simple examples, and it works pretty
well. However, just what is the full set of capabilities. Does it do
Greek symbols, math symbols, etc.?

Probably the only way to find out would be to test it, though if you know
the name of the OCR app being used, you may be able to google to find out
more about its capabilities, keeping in mind that whatever is supplied is
probably a "lite" version of the full app.

Lite might be right. I tried it on some symbols and the greek alphabet,
and they were rejected. The HP description on this is minimal.

You apparently need better OCR software. Finereader for example will convert
a variety of languages including Greek

Thanks. I'll look for it.
