1457756 2019-02-03 21:34:00 hanks for help. i have given it away, & speech ecognition. Ijust cant figure out the instructions. Gone back to a slower method. I write/print with black pen on lined papr. plug USB into printer & scan page.Plug USB into compter & "Semd to Mail" as an attachment. Address & "Send". Thats it. A bit laboious but it works.
The Epson printer will not scan directly to computer Email. The Techhie has tried it to do that but no success. PJ

1457757 2019-02-07 21:13:00 Am I reading your request correctly in that you want to scan script handwriting and convert it to a text file?

IIRC --> I used something called "OCR Bridge" a long, long, long time ago .

It worked, but the learning curve for you to teach it how you write and what a squiggle means, was long, arduous and laborious .

Once trained though, it worked well enough to get at least 85% of the letters and words correct . I gave up on it ever getting to 92% and maybe if I still ran it today, it might be better . But I have no real idea since I got over the urge to save things that WERE and now AREN'T . . . . . if you get my drift .

Don't get me wrong --- I regret each and every picture I've lost to the digital gods over the years - but life goes on - until it doesn't .
