There are free OCR applications available, however they aren't very advanced
and in my opinion aren't worth bothering with. It's possible that you
received some OCR software with your scanner, this would probably be a better
option, even if the software is an old version. Failing that, you could always
download the trial version of a retail package and use that instead, Abbyy do
a 15 day uncrippled trial version FineReader 8 which is powerful and flexible
(in fact that's the software I primarily use for my OCR work these days).

I offered you to scan in the Fall of Blood Mountain, but I had some
difficulties, so I write again. I have an Canon SmartBase MPC190
Printer/Scanner but the Standard Software doesn´t allow to scan in text files,
only pictures.
I looked in the Internet and found out, that I need a special OCR Software that
he can recognize the text. And so I want to ask if you could tell me where I
can get this for free.
greetings paul
