About CHARACTER RECOGNITION : Has anybody a list of books and publications related to character/words recognition and its algorithms ? Also especially any piece of software which implements some of those techniques would be useful for a start ! Thanks in advance and regards, Michel. ps: please mail me on : (DEC E-NET) LEROUF::DENIS (UUCP) ...decvax!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-lerouf!denis (ARPA) denis%lerouf.DEC@decwrl.ARPA

I'm looking for information about character recognition. We (Zengrange) recently bought one of those HP ScanJet thingies and us through the back would like to use it to read in documents. To start with there is no documentation on the how the little devil works (standard HP marketing -- the customer won't need more than we provide, and support is so expensive...) but that's our battle, unless someone has tackled HP already :-> Next there are no books around on character recognition (except for some mention in general pattern recognition books). So if anyone out there has a list of references of some available books on the subject and is willing to let me have them I'd be most grateful, Or has some details on the ScanJet hardware, Or some software which does anything in the region of character recognition, would earn lots of brownie points by sending it all to me. mucho thankso, vic (excuse the English please, I'm Scottish) Aren't global computer networks amazin' -- Victor Gavin Zengrange Limited vic@zen.co.uk Greenfield Road ..!mcvax!ukc!zen.co.uk!vic Leeds England +44 532 489048 LS9 8DB

I'm looking for a freebie to do character recognition. From an image, directly from a scanner, Anything! I didn't find anything of this sort from any of the favorite places. I need this to get 60 or so (hard copy) pages of source code onto disk. I've got a Howtek scanner hooked to a PC, but I'd like to hear of anything. --- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - James Darrell McCauley jdm5548@diamond.tamu.edu Dept of Ag.
