[comp.text.sgml] OCR scanning for import to FrameMaker

jjwcmp@isc.rit.edu (Jeff Wasilko) (05/20/91)

We're in the process of moving all of our catalog production to
FrameMaker. All of the body text was typeset on a Bedford system by an
outside vendor that doesn't support sending the text to another system.

We have decided the best way to deal with this is to scan the pages. I'm
looking for an OCR package (any platform, Mac preferred) that can output 
files in FrameMaker format (either binary, MML, or MIF) using Paragraph and
Character styles as we want to reformat the books. Alternativly, an OCR
package that can tag different styles of text with a generic tag would
be acceptable, too (is sgml applicable for this, and does a sgml<->
frame filter exist?).

Thanks,

Jeff
