even best ocr programs rearange numbers with letters.
For example a often mistake is to replace 1 with l.
best I know is abby fine reader but I think they are others also.
I use also a free one named infty reader
which is capable to do math ocr.

  Hi:
  Reading a Microsoft Article it has figure 1, figure 2 etc as examples of code 
which, of course, does not read with Windoweyes. Are you aware of any software 
to reade these items or a handy OCR or something that will reproduce them in 
text?
  My printer has a OCR but I used it once and it rearranged some numbers, not 
good for code of math formulas. 
  Any ideas? Otherwise I have a sighted person to read me the pictures, or 
screen shots, and I can type them out. This is for a introduction to Neural 
Networks project published in the Microsoft Magazine in Vb.net.
  Thanks:
  Rick USA
