Hi Charisma,

In theory, any OCR program should be able to turn your picture of text into
text, providing the file format of the picture is one that the particular
OCR program can handle.  

Examples of such software are Abbyy Fine Reader, OmniPage, and Kurzweil
1000.

Is that what you wanted to know?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] "scan" from within computer?

I have a question.

Say I have a picture of text on my computer--that is, an image of a book
page rather than an editable text scan--can I use any software to read that
and make it into editable text?

I am not sure if I said that clearly.

Example:  I scanned a book into my computer as photographs of the pages. Is
there any application I can use to "read" that photograph and convert it
into text?
