[Blindmath] Any users of InftyReader?

[Jaquiss, Robert]

Hello Tim:

     In case I didn't write earlier, thank you for the pointers in using Infty. I find it interesting that you are the only person to respond so far.

Regards,

Robert

Robert,
I have not used the internal scanning function. Typically the documents 
I need to process are already in PDF format.
When I need to scan a document it is typically a large document which I 
will scan to an image PDF first. I want to correctly archive the images 
in case I want to process then in another OCR program or a new version 
later. All scanners nowadays come with software you can use to scan to 
PDF or other image files (when I last tried Infty didn't work with all 
tif files, so a PDF may be the easiest option though it will take Infty 
some extra time because it needs to extract images first).

I usually scan using fine reader. Fine reader will do quite a bit of 
image correction for you and once the document is in fine reader it is 
easy to do manipulations (things like removing accidental duplicate 
scans). From fine reader you can easily save the images to PDF or 
another image format in file menu -> save images.
Remember to scan at 600DPI if you want to use the images in infty reader.
