How do you do this? (office-type question)
Lets say I have some printed documents that I need to scan into my computer (I have a scanner) and be able to edit them as a txt file or something similar. How do you do that?
Everything I deal with is software writing or graphics related, I dont know much about this "office" kind of stuff. Thx. |

you'll want to scan in it in .doc or .rtf format, the scanner/scanning software should give that option.

years ago on my old 486 i had some great softwear that did this.
not seem anything advertised recently that does this. is there any softwear online i can buy or is free? i find the easy way to scan documents is to simply photograph them with even just a camera phone, then decrease colour to 2 colours. you get a great copy.

If it's just a few pages you can simply use a service like http://ocrnow.com - either with your scanner, or they have an iphone app as well.
Either way, you're looking for an OCR software.

you need ORC software like mentioned above and last I checked scan docs at high dpi resolution, when I did it I did at 600 dpi
Abbyy Finereader avail for Win & Mac is a good one http://www.abbyy.com/document_conversion/

What kind of scanner are you using? The software that came with our HP all-in-one printer/scanner allows us to scan to searchable pdf files.

OCR option to the software that comes with the scanner should be available. Every scanner has it - see the interface of the program.
