Scanned document to Word

[Guest]

I have scanned a report to my Microsoft Word. I now wish to answer some
questions using my Word program so that it looks neat
I would like to set this up as a pernment feature, if possible
I believe it has something to do with "OCR" of which I know nothing...
Show me where to learn or advise me online, please
Thanks

Hi Dino-

What you are referrin gto is Optical Character Recognition Software, or OCR
software for short. This is something which works with your scanning device
to interpret the material being scanned as Text rather than as an Image.

Your scanner may have come with some type of OCR s/w, so check first to see
if that is the case. If not, you will need to invest in an OCR program (such
as TextBridge, OmniPage, etc.). Be sure to confirm compatibility with your
scanner & OS before you buy.

With the right software you will be able to scan documents as editable text.

Good Luck |:>)
