[nfbcs] Printing and Scanning

[Steve Jacobson]

If you have a program that can recognize text from scanning pages, there is usually another approach that lets one at least print to a file and process the 
file rather than physically printing and scanning.  Besides the time that takes, it introduces more potential inaccuracies.  Which program do you use when 
you scan the pages back in?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
