Hi,
If you have the full installation of Microsoft Office 2003, it also has a
utility that will recognize a TIF (text image file) which just about all
scanning packages produce. Normally, you would find the facility under
Microsoft Office Tools. It's called Microsoft Document Imaging. You can
recognize a scanned image and send it to Word and save it in a few formats.

[bksvol-discuss] Adobe Acrobat
Professional 8 and possibly 7 OT

Yesterday, I downloaded a trial of Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 because I
wanted to be able to fill out PDF forms by typing in the information which
I could not do on the free Read-Only version. . Did you know that the
Professional version has a special recognition feature that will take
unrecognizable files which a screen reader like Zoom Text cannot read and
rescan them with an OCR program so that the Adobe program can recognize
the images? The screen reader still cannot recognize the images but the
Adobe program can read it out loud with its read out loud feature. This
recognition feature is not built into the free Read-Only program, as far as
I know. The Professional version is extremely expensive (over $400) but the
Professional version for students only costs, I have been told, about $100.
Amazing!
