ChrisM Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hi all Is anyone of aware of a free or cheap software package that I can get me hands on, so that I can scan a document and then edit the document - i.e. instead of using a pen/typewriter to fill in forms, I want to scan the original form and then use my word processor for its completion (using OO.o or StarOffice). I've googled but without any real sucess. I know of this which is supposed to be good textbridge but its an M$ app and its expensive. Cheers.

Guest anon Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 You want OCR software. ( Optical Character Recognition ) I believe Kooka can do this, but not tried it. A quick google on this subject brought up several hits, here's a couple. http://www.linux-ocr.ekitap.gen.tr/ http://www.linuxworld.com/story/32641.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
