[comp.periphs] Character recognition

vic@zen.UUCP (Victor Gavin) (06/29/87)

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,
