I used to use Simple OCR when I very first started scanning in 2006. It's ok if you're sighted and can constantly compare the print to the scan. I might also have used what comes with Microsoft Word but I can't remember. I never scan an entire book and then OCR the whole thing. Now I have 2 g memory but when I once tried this on my laptop with 1 g memory it totally crashed and I lost the whole scan. Even 50 pages crashes my computer. I scan 10 to 20 pages at a time, OCR that, then paste it into Word. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: That Summer by Sarah Dessen Earn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497 See everything I've read this year at: www.michiganrxtech.com/books.html
