Yes, you want to lookup "OCR", which stands for Optical Character Recognition OCR programs can take a scanned document, and convert it into an editable text file. If you look at the bottom of the wikipedia page for OCR, you can find some programs that do it. I don't personally know of a good free one.

The short answer is yes. Is it worth it? It depends.

When you scan a document for the purpose of being able to edit it with a word processing program (i.e. MS Word, Wordperfect, etc...), you need to use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to convert it to editable text. One such OCR software package is OmniPage.

nuance.com/omnipage/professional/ As advanced as OCR software is today, it is still not perfect. You might wind up with an editable document containing messed up formatting, missing figures, or misinterpreted characters. If you are scanning a 1 or 2 page document, it might not be worth the trouble running it through an OCR process.

I have had several administrative assistants tell me that they would rather retype a short document than to mess around with OCR. If you are dealing with a very large document, you might not mind having to do a little clean up after the OCR process. I hope this helps!

You can make changes to it one of two ways A scanned document is an image, a picture. So you can use a standard paint program such as paint. Net to make changes, especially to graphics.

But you are unlikely to be able to do much to text without a lot of effort, and it will probably not match the scanned portion of the text. If text is your concern, then the best way to it is with an OCR (optical character recognition) program. You probably got a limited or older version bundled with your scanner.As with most desktop programs, there used to be a lot of choice, but Omnipage seems to be the most ubiquitous OCR program available.

Once you scan a document in Omnipage, it will analyze the scanner output and convert it to text, which you can then edit to your heart's content using a text editor or word processor. You might also look at the open source OCRopus although it may be too early in its development cycle, or the commercial Finereader.

Yes... Basically you need an item of software known as OCR (Optical Character Recognition) which works in conjunction with your scanner, this will allow you to scan a document and allow it to be saved in a format that will allow it to be edited by a word processor or text editor. The quality depends on the software you use, some claim to be able to support keeping original document format but I have yet to use one that works and do it 100%. Andrew.
