[Electronics-talk] OCR Scanners

[JULIE PHILLIPSON]

Linda for what its worth I have had four or five scanners over the years and 
I think any flat bed scanner will do what you want.  It is the software that 
is the key I once had an HP deskjet all in one that worked fine right out of 
the box.  It even had its own OCR software and I just had to configure it to 
automatically do that.  The printing function wasn't that great though and 
used a lot of ink.  I have an Epson now and its software is not very 
accessible I can't install it myself at all but once it is ready I can use 
it better but I can only get it to do PDF format and it is not accessible 
PDF so then it has to be run through the other program to make it usable. 
scans great but I have to use it with OCR  software such as openbook or 
K1000 the scanner is the cheep part of the deal.  I don't know if HP 
software is the same as it was but I've heard it is not but not sure.  Mind 
you it doesn't quite do all the things that openbook or K1000 does but it 
reads it just fine.
