Does anyone know of an OCR software package that can handle
typeset text scanned using the Hewlett-Packard Scanjet? We're currently
using ReadRight, from OCR Systems, Inc. Although ReadRight can handle
mono-spaced fonts fairly well, any proportionally space font with kerning
gives it a lot of trouble. Any help and/or pointers will be greatly
appreciated.

I just got a copy of Olduvai Software's Readit! program and it can read proportionally spaced text. It runs on the Mac. I've tried it on a few small files and it seems to work okay. I'd guess that its accuracy rate is about 98% or better, but, as with all such software, a 1% or 2% error rate means a lot of errors in a file with a few thousand characters. ---------------------------------------- Submissions to: desktop@plaid.sun.com Administrivia to: desktop-request@plaid.sun.com UUCP: {amdahl,decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4}!sun!plaid!desktop{-request} Archives can be gotten from the archive-server.
