OCR

[Big Papi]

Is there any way to perform OCR on a jpeg file? I have a scanned article
I found on the Internet that I would like to convert into a text file.
Is there anything that can do this without rescanning the image?

Thanks!

Most OCR can accept images, as long as they are in somewhat high
resolution...

What ocr program do you have? or are you looking for one?

Susan,
Is that download working again? I thought people were having problems
with it or the password or whatever.

working fine right now.

Great! Thanks. For anybody who hasn't downloaded this yet and needs an
OCR program, I highly recommend getting this one. I have it installed
and it's really nice. Very high accuracy compared to what I've used in
the past.
