Ocr scanning

[Owd Bert]

I have recently bought a "Talking Text" programme as I have increasing difficulty in reading. Of course I use Tlking books from both the Library and RNIB for general "reading" but find the new prog great for emailsand web pages.

I am told that documents, magazine pages etc can be "read" if scanned in OCR format and wonder if anyone has experience or information about this.

I know that scanners are available with OCR Software but would appreciate any personal info. Bert.

Just looked at that site, and after a bit of run around found the FreeOCR, its not as free as it makes out, its a free trial.
