| 412892 | 2005-12-15 07:58:00 | Hi Sam* Anything you get depends on the type face it is trying to copy, the quality of the print, marks or folds in the paper and so on. I would download a few of the freebees and try each against a single document and make a decision. None are perfect. | Scouse (83) | ||

| 412896 | 2005-12-16 14:58:00 | I use TexrBridgePro (www.pcworld.com) .....it is very intuitive and after a short time of "training" both you and the program, it can even read my handwriting. It ain't free, but it comes with many (read: Panasonic, Memorex) flatbeds. The 42-bit flat scanner from Memorex is just $49.99 here in the States, and if you buy TextBridgePro alone, it's a lot more. |
