Hi everyone!I was just looking around on Snapfiles, because someone was asking recently about low-cost or free OCR software. I found one thing that needs a digital camera instead of a scanner, so it might come in handy if someone's scanner quits in the middle of a project, or who just likes to try software. I don't have a digital camera, so I cannot use it. Here is the information about the program including the review and the link to the page I was on.
TopOCR OCR for digital cameras Our Rating: 4 stars (Very Good)TopOCR is an optical character recognition (OCR) system, that enables you to convert digital photos of printed text (e.g book pages) to digital documents. Unlike traditional OCR software, which is designed for scanners, TopOCR is designed specifically for digital cameras with 3 MP or more. The text output can be edited, using the provided
word processor interface and saved in several formats including PDF. Freeware Download TopOCR Publisher Topsoft, Ltd.

Popularity: 3/5 Overall Rank: 1493 User Opinions Average user rating: not yet established. Read 1 user reviews. Average of 1 user ratings: 5 Mar 08, 2010 For version: 2.6 quote Excellent choice quote Interface: 4 Features: 4 Ease of use: 4 Value: 5 Overall: 5TopOCR works surprisingly well for a free product, it is not guaranteed to work 100%. I have used it about ten times and it only failed once. The accuracy in translation is very good. As an occasional OCR program then I would recommend it. If you have a regular use for such a program then it might pay to put your credit card to use.
