Hi! I'm wondering about the purchase of Optical Character Recognition software, mostly because I'm lazy, and I don't want to retype large quotes from magazines, and would also like to have newspaper articles in machine readable form. So of course, I'm abusing the time I'm spending at work to ask netland some questions: What experiences have you had with affordable (<$250) OCR software, with what type of scanner (say, Logitech Scanman w/Catchword). Any good deals out there? Is it worth it? How good is the recognition ability? Thanks whole big bunches of bananas! -- Neman Syed - Rebel Without A Clue neman@sunee.uwaterloo.ca or neman@108.watstar.uwaterloo.ca Opinions expressed are solely those of my employers and in no way affect or represent those of Neman Syed.
