Hi,
you could try to automate Microsoft Office Document Imaging - MODI, which is
part of Office 2003.
Also there are several 3rd party tools to do so, for example FineReader, you
can find it in Google
 
Office 2003 includes a MODI component. This COM object will perform OCR
against a TIF image.
You can get the control and basic info here:
Office 2003: Microsoft Office Document Imaging Visual Basic Reference (MODI)
This download includes the reference documentation for the MODI object
model and the MODI Viewer ActiveX control in the form of a compiled Help
file (CHM), MSPAUTO.CHM.

For other detailed information and sample source code see:

In MODI program there is a way to Use OCR and then, to Save it as text.

When i do it with the program is saving an html file that gives me the text.

How can i do this with Automation?

Roy it has beenover a year since I tested this control. I'm sure I remember
using the source code I pointed you to to retreive the actual text from a
TIF image. Did you download end examine the source code on the Ilixis web
site?

What do you mean it is an HTML file that gives you the text?

As per your last question regarding Automation, it's much simpler to place
the MODI ActiveX control on a form and work with it directly.
